Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the baking mix, milk, and cheese until a soft dough forms; beat for 30 seconds.
- Drop dough by spoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake about 10 minutes until lightly brown.
- Mix melted butter, garlic powder, and parsley.
- Brush over warm biscuits before removing from the cookie sheet.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider using a mix of cheeses, such as mozzarella or pepper jack, instead of just Cheddar. If you don't have buttermilk baking mix, you can substitute with regular baking mix and add a tablespoon of vinegar to the milk for acidity. Ensure your butter is melted but not too hot to prevent the dough from becoming too runny.
Serving Suggestions
These Quick Cheese-Garlic Biscuits are perfect as a side dish to accompany soups and salads, or served warm at brunch alongside Quick Deviled Eggs. They can also be enjoyed as a snack on their own. For an extra touch, serve them with a spicy dipping sauce or herb-infused olive oil.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the dough in advance?
Yes, you can prepare the dough ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before baking. Just remember to let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before dropping it onto the cookie sheet for even baking.
What can I use instead of garlic powder?
If you prefer fresh flavor, you can substitute garlic powder with 1-2 cloves of minced fresh garlic. Just be sure to mix it well into the melted butter to distribute the flavor evenly on the biscuits.
Can I add other herbs to the biscuits?
Absolutely! Fresh or dried herbs like chives, thyme, or oregano can enhance the flavor of the biscuits. Just mix them into the dough or the butter mixture for a delicious twist.
