Tender Cheddar Garlic Biscuits

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder (such as Magic)
• 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1/4 teaspoon white sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup cold butter, cut into cubes
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (such as Kraft Double Cheddar)
• 1/3 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon parsley
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

Mix flour, baking powder, cream of tartar, sugar, and salt together in a bowl; cut in butter using a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir Cheddar cheese into flour mixture; add 1/3 plus 2 tablespoons milk, mayonnaise, parsley, and garlic powder and mix until a soft dough forms.

Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, 8 to 10 times. Pat dough into a 6-inch square and cut into 9 smaller squares. Arrange squares 2-inches apart on a baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes.
