buttermilk

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + vinegar

Greek yogurt adds creaminess with fewer calories.

unsalted butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is healthier for cooking.

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Reduced-fat cheese lowers calories while still melting well.

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: self-rising flour

Whole wheat flour increases fiber content.

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, and dried parsley.

Add shredded cheddar cheese to the dry ingredients and mix well.

In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, melted unsalted butter, and egg.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

Fold in cooked bacon pieces if using.

Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

While baking, melt additional butter and mix in garlic powder and parsley for brushing.

Remove biscuits from the oven and brush with the garlic butter mixture immediately.

Serve warm.
