Garlic Cheddar Biscuits: A Simple, Savory Delight
Ingredients for Garlic Cheddar Biscuits
Here’s a breakdown of the ingredients you’ll need to make these delicious biscuits. The beauty of this recipe lies in its simplicity—each ingredient serves a specific purpose, creating a biscuit that’s both flavorful and light.
2 cups all-purpose flour
All-purpose flour is the base for these biscuits. It provides the structure and texture that allows them to rise and bake into the soft, fluffy treat we all love.
1 tablespoon baking powder
Baking powder is the leavening agent that helps the biscuits rise and become light and airy. It’s essential for achieving that perfect biscuit texture.
2 teaspoons sugar
A small amount of sugar is added to balance out the savory flavors and bring a slight sweetness that complements the garlic and cheese. It’s not enough to make the biscuits sweet, but it enhances the overall flavor.
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Garlic powder is the star of the show when it comes to flavor. It imparts that unmistakable garlic taste that pairs beautifully with the sharp cheddar cheese.
1/4 teaspoon salt
A pinch of salt enhances all the other flavors and ensures the biscuits taste perfectly seasoned.
1/2 cup unsalted butter, frozen and grated
The butter is the key to creating the flaky texture of these biscuits. By freezing and grating it, you get tiny butter shreds that melt during baking, creating pockets of air that make the biscuits light and tender.
