For the biscuits: • 2 cups all-purpose flour • 1 tablespoon baking powder • 1 tablespoon sugar • 1 tablespoon garlic powder • 3/4 teaspoon salt • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper • 1 teaspoon dried parsley • 1/2 cup butter unsalted, melted • 1 cup buttermilk • 8 ounces cheddar cheese shredded For topping: • 1/4 cup buttermilk • 1 teaspoon dried parsley • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Directions

Step 1

Set your oven to 450 degrees F.

Line a baking tray with parchment paper and set it aside.

Step 3

Using a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, garlic powder, salt, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and dried parsley using a whisk.

Step 4

Using a separate medium-sized mixing bowl, add in the buttermilk and the melted butter together. The butter will form small clumps.

Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to scoop out the dough onto the previously prepared baking tray. Leave at least 1 inch between the biscuits.

Then brush the top biscuits with the 1/4 cup of buttermilk and then sprinkle it with the paprika and dried parsley.

Step 9

Bake the biscuits for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown.
