Prep Time: 20 minutes Cook Time: 20 minutes Level of Difficulty: Easy Serving Size: 12 biscuits

Ingredients

• 3 cups self-rising flour
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 cup salted cold butter, cubed, plus 2 tablespoons salted butter, melted
• 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 cup whole buttermilk
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh Italian parsley
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic sal

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Butter the bottom and sides of a 10-inch cast-iron skillet.
In a medium-size mixing bowl, sift together the flour, garlic powder, and onion powder. Use a pastry blender or two forks to cut the cubed butter into the flour until it resembles cornmeal. Mix the cheddar cheese into the crumbs.
Make a well in the center and add the buttermilk. Mix the buttermilk into the dry ingredients gradually, using a fork. Mix until just fully moistened.
Use a 4-ounce ice-cream scoop to divide the dough, placing the biscuits side by side in the skillet.
Mix together the melted butter, parsley, and garlic salt. Lightly brush the tops of the biscuits, reserving some of the herbed butter for the tops at the end of baking.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until cooked through and golden. Broil at the end of baking to brown the tops further, if desired.
Brush with the reserved herbed butter and serve.
