Ingredients I Used: I've stuck to classic ingredients, easily found in most supermarkets. The key is using good quality butter and milk; they really make a difference in the final taste and texture.

Tips for Baking Success: Don't overmix the dough! This is a common mistake that can lead to tough biscuits. Make sure your oven is preheated to the correct temperature – this ensures even baking. And, of course, enjoy the process! Baking should be fun and rewarding, and these biscuits are the perfect example of that.

Serving Suggestions: These biscuits are versatile enough to be enjoyed with practically any meal. They're wonderful alongside soups, stews, salads, or even as a simple snack with butter and jam. Get creative! Experiment with different cheeses, herbs, or spices to create your own unique variations. The possibilities are endless! And don't be afraid to share your creations with friends and family; watching their faces light up as they take their first bite is the best reward.

Memories Made in the Kitchen: More than just a recipe, these biscuits are a symbol of warmth, comfort, and togetherness. The act of baking them, the aroma that fills the kitchen, the shared meal that follows – these are the moments that truly matter. And I hope this recipe will bring those same joys to your home.

Beyond the Recipe: Baking these biscuits is a chance to connect with something deeper, a chance to slow down, appreciate the simple things, and create something beautiful from humble ingredients. It’s a chance to experience the joy of creating something delicious, something that brings people together, something that fills your home with the aroma of warmth and love.

Step-by-step

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Prepare a large baking sheet with Silpat or parchment paper.
• (If you are shredding your own cheese, do that first.)
• In a medium microwave-safe bowl, add 1/2 cup (113g) butter. Heat until butter is melted. (About 45 seconds) Set aside to slightly cool.
• In a large mixing bowl add the flour, sugar, baking powder, garlic and 1 teaspoon salt. Whisk until well combined.
• Pour the milk into the melted butter and stir well.
• Pour the milk and butter mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until just combined, making sure to not over mix.
• Add shredded cheese and fold in until cheese is evenly distributed.
• Grab about 1/2 cup of dough with your fingers and drop onto baking sheet. (about the size of a small fist) You can fit 8 large biscuits onto one baking sheet. If you want smaller biscuits, prepare another lined baking sheet and make each biscuit about 1/4 cup.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes, until biscuits are just barely golden brown.
• While biscuits are baking, melt remaining 1/4 cup (56g) of butter in small mixing bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds or until butter is melted. Add 1 teaspoon salt and all parsley and stir.
• When biscuits are removed from the oven, immediately brush with butter parsley mixture.
