Savory Cheese Biscuit Bites

Elevate your snack game with these delightful Cheesy Biscuit Bites, rich in flavor and perfect as a midday treat.

Ingredients

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 3/4 cup whole milk

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, onion powder, garlic powder, pepper, and salt. Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

3. Incorporate Butter:
Add the cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This step is crucial for a flaky texture.

4. Add Cheese:
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, making sure to coat it well with the flour mixture.

5. Pour in the Milk:
Gradually add the milk, stirring gently with a spatula until a sticky dough forms. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough biscuits.

6. Shape the Biscuits:
Using a spoon or a medium cookie scoop, drop mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each biscuit to allow for expansion.

7. Bake:
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the biscuit tops are golden brown and firm to the touch.

8. Cool and Serve:
Once baked, remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm, or store for later — these bites are delicious at room temperature, too.
