By foodiva

Ingredients

• 1 3/4 cups sifted all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 3 tsp double-acting baking powder
• 1/4 tsp white pepper
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 4 tbsp chilled unsalted butter, cubed
• 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup chopped parsley
• 1 pinch cayenne pepper
• 1 1/4 cup milk I used 2%.

Preparation

Step 1

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment.

In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, baking powder, white pepper, and garlic powder.

Add cubed butter and toss to coat with flour mixture.

Using a pastry blender, cut butter into flour mixture until it resembles coarse cornmeal.

Stir in cheese, parsley, and cayenne until cheese is coated with flour mixture.

Make a well in the center, and pour in milk. Stir until combined, about one minute.

Drop in 8 rounded mounds onto parchment-lined sheet pan.

Bake 12-14 minutes until lightly browned. Best when warm from the oven!
