Step by Step Method

Step 1

Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F. Set oven rack to second-lowest position. Light grease a baking sheet.

Step 2

In a bowl combine the flour with baking powder, salt, garlic powder and cheddar cheese. Add in the cold butter cubes; using a knife or pastry blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add milk or light cream a little at a time, stirring lightly between additions (depending on how much moisture is in your flour at the time you make these you may need to add in a little more milk).

Step 3

Drop the batter by spoonfuls onto baking sheet. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the tops are golden (baking time will vary depending on the size of the biscuits). If desired brush melted butter on top of the biscuits after baking.
