1- Creating cheddar bay biscuits with that signature fluffy texture starts with simple steps that anyone can follow. Begin by preheating your oven to 450°F to get it ready for baking. This quick process takes about 8 minutes to prep and 12 minutes to cook, totaling around 20 minutes, so it’s ideal for busy schedules.

2- First, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper in a large bowl. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it’s evenly mixed. In another bowl, mix the cold buttermilk with the melted and cooled butter until small lumps form, which helps create that fluffy texture.

3- Next, add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture and stir gently until a dough forms, making sure not to overmix for tender results. Lightly grease a ¼ cup measuring cup, scoop the dough, and place the portions on a lightly greased light-colored baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart to make around 10 biscuits.

4- Bake them for about 12 minutes until they turn golden brown. While they bake, prepare the topping by mixing melted butter with garlic powder and dried parsley. Once out of the oven, brush this mixture onto the hot biscuits right away and serve them warm for the best garlic butter flavor. For adaptations, use non-dairy milk in your buttermilk substitute if needed, or switch to gluten-free flour blends to keep the steps the same.
