buttermilk

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

unsalted butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is healthier for cooking.

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

1

Preheat oven to 400°. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer on low speed, beat flour, baking powder, salt, and 3/4 cup butter, working your way up to medium speed, until a dough forms with pea-sized lumps. Slowly stream in milk and beat on low speed until just combined. Fold in cheese and 2 teaspoons garlic powder.

2

Using a spoon, place 2" blobs of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.

3

Bake biscuits until lightly golden, 18 to 20 minutes.

4

Meanwhile, in a small heatproof bowl, microwave 1/2 cup butter in 20-second increments, stirring between each, until melted, about 1 minute total. Stir in parsley and remaining 1 teaspoon garlic powder.

5

Brush butter mixture on top of each biscuit while still warm.
