Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 12 minutes
Servings 12

Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • Pinch of salt & pepper
  • 3 tablespoon cold butter *I used a light butter
  • ¾ cup low-fat buttermilk
  • ¾ cup reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese

For the topping

  • 1.5 tablespoon light butter, melted
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon italian seasoning

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
  • In a bowl mix together the flour, baking powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, paprika and salt/pepper.
  • Cut the 3 tablespoon of cold butter into very small pieces and then add them to the flour mixture, using two knives "cut" them into the flour.
  • Slowly stir in the buttermilk, then add in the shredded cheese.
  • Knead the dough for a few minutes then roll out on a flat clean surface, you can sprinkle a light dusting of flour down if the dough seems sticky.
  • You want the dough to be ¾- 1" thick, I used a glass that was 3" wide to cut out my biscuits. This gave me 12 good-sized biscuits, the last one you may need to shape on your own.
  • Place biscuits on the lined baking tray and bake for 10-14 minutes, or till golden brown on the bottom, ovens vary so check them at the 10 minute mark, mine took 12 minutes.
  • While they are baking, melt the 1.5 tablespoon of butter, stir in the garlic and italian seasoning. Once the biscuits are out of the oven brush the garlic butter mixture on the tops. Serve immediately.
  • I store any leftover biscuits in a sealed container for 2-3 days. They will freeze well.
