Ingredients
all-purpose flour
1 cup (measured and sifted)
baking powder
1 teaspoon (leavening agent)
garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon (dry seasoning)
salt
1/2 teaspoon (for flavor)
shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup (shredded)
butter
3 tablespoons (softened, rounded)
milk
1/2 cup (whole or 2% milk)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet with cooking spray.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt. Whisk together until evenly mixed.
3
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, ensuring every piece is coated with the flour mixture.
4
Add the softened butter to the dry ingredients, using a fork or pastry blender to cut it in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
5
Pour in the milk and stir gently until the dry ingredients are just combined. Don't worry if the batter is a bit lumpy; this will keep them light and fluffy.
6
Using a tablespoon or a small ice cream scoop, drop heaping spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
7
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the edges are slightly crispy.
