Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix buttermilk baking mix, milk, shredded Cheddar, melted butter, and garlic powder with a wooden spoon until a soft dough forms.
- Beat the mixture for thirty seconds.

Tips & Substitutions
For best results, use a quality buttermilk baking mix and fresh shredded Cheddar for a richer flavor. If you don't have buttermilk baking mix, you can substitute with all-purpose flour and add baking powder and salt. To enhance the garlic flavor, consider adding fresh minced garlic or garlic salt instead of powder. Make sure not to overmix the dough; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
Serving Suggestions
These biscuits are a perfect side for soups or stews, and they pair beautifully with Yankee Apple John for a comforting meal. Serve them warm, brushed with additional garlic butter, for extra flavor. You can also enjoy them with a light salad or as a base for breakfast sandwiches. They are versatile and can complement many American recipes.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 2 months. To reheat, simply place them in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes or until warmed through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular milk instead of buttermilk?
Yes, you can use regular milk, but the texture and flavor may differ slightly. To mimic buttermilk, add a tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to regular milk and let it sit for 5-10 minutes before using it in the recipe.
How can I make these biscuits healthier?
To make these biscuits healthier, consider using whole wheat flour instead of the buttermilk baking mix and reducing the amount of cheese. You can also substitute unsalted butter with a plant-based spread or use a fruit puree in place of some of the butter for a lighter option.
Can I freeze the biscuit dough before baking?
Absolutely! You can freeze the dough by scooping it onto a baking sheet and placing it in the freezer until firm. Once frozen, transfer the dough balls to a freezer bag. When ready to bake, simply place the frozen dough on a baking sheet and add a couple of extra minutes to the baking time.
