unsalted butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is healthier for cooking.

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: self-rising flour

Whole wheat flour increases fiber content.

Melt 1 stick (1/2 cup) of unsalted butter in the microwave and set aside to cool.

In a large bowl, add 2 cups of all-purpose flour.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the flour and whisk well.

Sift the baking powder to avoid clumps.

Add 1 cup of sharp cheddar cheese to the dry ingredients and mix until coated in flour.

In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter (cooled) with 1 cup of cold buttermilk and whisk until small lumps form.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms, being careful not to over mix.

Using a large 1/4 cup cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the dough onto a baking sheet.

Bake at 450°F for about 12 minutes or until golden brown.

While the biscuits are baking, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and mix in 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder and 1/4 teaspoon of dried parsley for the topping.

Once the biscuits are done, brush them with the melted butter mixture while still hot.
