Cheddar Bay Biscuits
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
6 tablespoons cold butter, cut in small cubes
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
3/4 cup buttermilk, ice cold
Topping:
3 tablespoons melted butter
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
rounded 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.
Use a pastry blender or 2 knives used scissor fashion to cut in the butter until small pea-sized crumbs form.
Add the cheese and toss until coated with flour.
Add the buttermilk and stir until just combined – don’t overmix. Drop by 1/4 cup fulls onto the baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
Bake 14 – 16 minutes until golden around the edges. Meanwhile, in a small bowl combine melted butter with parsley and garlic salt.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and brush butter generously over the tops while hot. Best served warm.
