Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cayenne pepper.

In a large glass measuring cup or another bowl, whisk together buttermilk and butter. Pour mixture over dry ingredients and stir using a rubber spatula just until it forms a moist, shaggy dough that just comes together. Don’t overwork the dough! Gently fold in cheese.

Using a ¼-cup measuring cup or ice cream scoop, place 8 mounds of batter 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. Bake for 14 to 16 minutes, or until golden brown.

For the topping, whisk together ingredients in a small bowl. Spoon 2 teaspoons of the garlic herb butter over the top of each hot biscuit. Serve immediately.
