These Cheddar Herb Homemade Biscuits are buttery, flaky, and packed with savory flavor from sharp cheddar and fragrant herbs. Perfect fresh out of the oven, they pair beautifully with soups, eggs, or enjoyed on their own with a pat of butter.

Yields: 10–12 biscuits
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Bake Time: 15–18 minutes
Total Time: ~30 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• One half teaspoon baking soda
• Two-thirds teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• One half teaspoon dried thyme
• One half teaspoon dried parsley
• One half cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cubed
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• Two-thirds cup buttermilk, cold
• Optional: 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, thyme, and parsley.

Cut in the butter: Add cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work it in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Add cheese and herbs: Stir in the cheddar and chives (if using).

Mix the dough: Pour in the buttermilk and stir just until combined. Do not overmix.

Shape the biscuits: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat into a 1-inch thick rectangle and cut with a biscuit cutter or slice into squares.

Bake: Place biscuits on the prepared sheet and bake for 15–18 minutes or until golden and fluffy.

Optional: Brush the tops with melted butter and a sprinkle of garlic salt for extra flavor.

Serve Warm With

• Soup or stew
• Scrambled eggs
• Butter and honey (for a sweet-savory twist)
