Ingredients
Homemade Biscuits
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, 270g
- 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
- ½ tsp fine sea salt
- 2 ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp cream of tartar
- 9 Tablespoon cold unsalted butter, small cubed
- ¾ cup whole milk, cold
Cheesy Garlic Butter
- 6 Tablespoon unsalted butter
- 5 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
- 3-4 oz. cheddar cheese, shredded
- ¼ cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated or finely shredded, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Place 6 tablespoons of butter in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet or round cake pan and put it in the oven to melt. Remove it once the oven is preheated and butter is melted. Once it's removed, pour the butter into a small bowl with minced garlic and 1/4 tsp fine sea salt. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, begin prepping the biscuits by combining the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Add the small butter cubes and use a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour until small, pea-sized bits are formed throughout.
- Pour in the milk and stir until just combined. Turn the shaggy dough onto a lightly floured surface and form it into a disc. Flatten the dough out slightly and then fold the left side into the middle of the dough, followed by the right side (it will look similar to a burrito). Then, fold the bottom up to make a tall square-type shape. If you'd like to put cheese inside the dough, layer half of the shredded cheese on before folding.
- Use your hands to gently press the dough into a 10-inch circle that's approximately ¾ inch thick. Take a 2 ¾ inch biscuit cutter (or drinking glass) and cut 8 biscuits out of the dough. Place them in the skillet.
- Drizzle the melted butter on top of the biscuits. You may need to use a pastry brush or spoon to spread the garlic evenly across the tops of the biscuits. Sprinkle the shredded cheese(s) on top of the biscuits evenly.
- Bake the biscuits for 15-19 minutes until the cheese is melted and slightly golden brown, along with the biscuit edges that you can see. Top with chives if desired and serve immediately.
