Six ingredients, one bowl: what makes this recipe work
The biscuit dough calls for 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of salt, and an optional but recommended ½ teaspoon of garlic powder. To that base go ½ cup of cold unsalted butter cut into cubes, 1 cup of shredded sharp cheddar, and ¾ cup of whole milk or buttermilk.
