Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter (cubed)
  • 3/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/4 cup cooked and crumbled bacon (optional)
  • 2/3 cup cold buttermilk (plus extra for brushing)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

1. Preheat and Prepare

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

2. Mix the Dry Ingredients

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and garlic powder.

3. Cut in the Butter

  1. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

4. Add the Fillings

  1. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, cream cheese, and bacon (if using) until evenly distributed.

5. Combine with Buttermilk

  1. Slowly add the buttermilk, stirring gently with a fork until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.

6. Shape the Biscuits

  1. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
  2. Use a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out biscuits. Re-roll the scraps as needed.

7. Bake the Biscuits

  1. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, close but not touching.
  2. Brush the tops lightly with buttermilk for a golden finish.
  3. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits are cooked through.

8. Garnish and Serve

  1. Optional: Sprinkle the biscuits with chopped fresh chives after baking.
  2. Serve warm with butter or your favorite spread.

Tips for Success

  • Use very cold butter for maximum flakiness. You can even freeze the butter and grate it into the flour.
  • Don’t overwork the dough—it’s okay if it looks a bit shaggy.
  • For a richer flavor, brush the tops with melted garlic butter after baking.

Serving Suggestions

These buttery biscuits pair beautifully with soups, stews, or a drizzle of honey for a sweet twist. They’re also amazing on their own as a snack or breakfast treat.

Enjoy these melt-in-your-mouth Billion Dollar Buttery Biscuits that truly taste like a million bucks! 🧈✨
