Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Mix flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.

  2. Step 2

    Cut 5 tbsp cold butter into small cubes and work into flour with your fingertips until mixture looks like coarse sand.

  3. Step 3

    Fold in cheddar and parsley, then add buttermilk and stir until a shaggy dough forms. Do not overmix.

  4. Step 4

    Drop 6 golf-ball-sized portions onto a sheet pan spaced 2 inches apart. Bake 12–14 minutes until golden brown on top.

  5. Step 5

    Melt remaining 2 tbsp butter with minced garlic in a small saucepan over low heat until fragrant, ~2 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Brush warm biscuits generously with garlic butter immediately after they come out of the oven. Serve hot.
