Tips & Variations

• Substitute buttermilk with milk and a teaspoon of lemon juice if you don’t have buttermilk on hand.
• Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the butter mixture for a spicy kick.
• Use fresh herbs like chopped parsley or chives in place of dried for a vibrant flavor.

Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To keep them fresh longer, refrigerate for up to 5 days. Reheat in a toaster oven or regular oven at 300ºF for 5–7 minutes to restore crispiness. Avoid microwaving as it can make them soggy.

• 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley

3. Shape the Biscuits: Using a scoop or spoon, form balls of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a couple of inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
4. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the biscuits for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they turn golden brown on top.
5. Prepare the Butter Glaze: While the biscuits are baking, mix together the remaining melted butter with Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, dried parsley, onion powder, and salt in a small bowl.
6. Brush Biscuits: Once the biscuits are baked and golden, remove them from the oven and immediately brush generously with the prepared butter glaze to infuse them with extra flavor and moisture.
7. Serve Warm: Serve the biscuits warm to enjoy their soft, cheesy texture and seasoned butter topping at their best.

Notes

• For best results, use a baking mix like Bisquick that includes leavening agents.
• Grate your own cheddar cheese for optimal melting and flavor.
• Brush the biscuits immediately after baking so the butter glaze absorbs well while the biscuits are warm.
• These biscuits freeze well; store in an airtight container and reheat in the oven before serving.
• Adjust Old Bay seasoning to taste if you prefer a milder or stronger flavor.
