Ingredients
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley (optional)
• ½ cup unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
• ¾ cup buttermilk (plus more if needed)
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons softened butter (for brushing)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven – Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients – In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, and dried parsley. This mixture forms the dry base of your biscuits.
- Add Butter to Flour – Using a pastry cutter, two forks, or your hands, cut the cold cubed butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. The butter pieces should be about the size of small peas to ensure a flaky texture.
- Add Buttermilk – Pour in the buttermilk and mix just until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough biscuits. If the dough feels too dry, add a tablespoon of buttermilk at a time.
- Prepare the Cheese Filling – In a small bowl, mix the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese together. This will be the gooey core of your biscuits.
- Shape the Biscuits – Take a scoop of dough (about 2 tablespoons), flatten it in your hand, place a small mound of the cheese mixture in the center, and then wrap the dough around it to seal the cheese inside. Gently roll it into a ball and place it seam-side down on the baking tray.
- Bake the Biscuits – Place all the formed biscuits on the tray, ensuring a bit of space between them. Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
- Make Garlic Butter – While the biscuits are baking, melt the 2 tablespoons of softened butter in a small pan or microwave. Stir in the minced garlic and allow it to steep for a minute to enhance the flavor.
- Brush with Garlic Butter – Once the biscuits are out of the oven, immediately brush them with the warm garlic butter and sprinkle fresh parsley on top for color and aroma.
- Serve Warm – These biscuits are best enjoyed hot while the cheese inside is still melty. Serve them with soups, pasta, salads, or as a savory snack.
This recipe is not only satisfying and indulgent but also flexible. You can add chopped jalapeños for a spicy kick, or use different cheeses like pepper jack or gouda for a unique twist. Make them once, and they’re sure to become a repeat favorite in your kitchen.
