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 and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray to ensure easy removal of the biscuit loaf.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder until evenly combined.
- Add Cheese: Fold in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese carefully to evenly distribute the cheese throughout the dry mixture.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, and the egg until fully blended and smooth.
- Mix Batter: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the loaf tender.
- Transfer to Pan: Pour and smooth the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake: Bake the loaf for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, indicating it is fully cooked.
- Brush with Butter: Immediately after removing from the oven, brush the top of the loaf with melted butter to enhance flavor and moisture.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the biscuit loaf to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm for the best taste and texture experience.
Notes
- Use sharp cheddar cheese for the best flavor; you can substitute with other cheeses like Colby Jack or Monterey Jack if desired.
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid toughness in the biscuit loaf.
- Brush with melted butter immediately after baking to keep the crust soft and flavorful.
- If you don’t have buttermilk, you can substitute with 1 cup of milk plus 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar, let sit for 5 minutes.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat before serving to restore softness.
