Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 ½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup buttermilk
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted (plus more for topping)
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking during baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder until well combined to ensure even distribution of leavening and seasoning.
- Add Cheese: Gently fold in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese, coating it evenly with the flour mixture to prevent clumping and ensure every bite is cheesy.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted unsalted butter, and egg until smooth to create a rich and moist batter base.
- Mix Batter: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the biscuit loaf tender and light.
- Prepare Loaf Pan: Transfer the batter into the greased loaf pan and smooth the top evenly for uniform baking.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating the loaf is fully cooked.
- Butter Topping: Immediately after removing from the oven, brush the top of the loaf with melted butter to add a glossy finish and extra richness.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the loaf to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture experience.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense biscuits.
- Use sharp cheddar for the best flavor.
- Brush with melted butter right after baking for a glossy, moist crust.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat before serving.
- Optional: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the dry mix for a spicy twist.
