Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 large egg
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (for brushing)
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (for topping)
• 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley (for topping)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and baking soda. Stir to combine evenly.
3. Step 3: Add the shredded cheddar cheese into the dry mixture. Toss gently to coat the cheese with the flour mixture.
4. Step 4: In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and softened butter until well combined.
5. Step 5: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and stir just until the mixture is combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Step 6: Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula to ensure it’s even.
7. Step 7: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Step 8: While the loaf is baking, mix the melted butter with the garlic powder and dried parsley in a small bowl.
9. Step 9: When the loaf is done baking, remove it from the oven and immediately brush the top with the garlic butter mixture.
10. Step 10: Let the loaf cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before removing it. Slice and serve warm.

Tips & Variations

• Grease the loaf pan thoroughly or use parchment paper to ensure easy removal without tearing.

FAQs

Can I use regular milk instead of buttermilk?

You can substitute regular milk mixed with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar per cup to mimic buttermilk’s acidity, which helps with the rise and tender texture.

Can I make this recipe into individual biscuits instead of a loaf?

Yes, you can bake the dough as drop biscuits on a baking sheet. Adjust baking time to about 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
