Edward McNeill

3 cups all-purpose flour

2 tbsp. baking powder

¼ tsp. kosher salt

1 ½ sticks butter, cold and chopped

1 ¾ c. whole milk

2 tsp. garlic powder

1 ½ cups shredded sharp Cheddar

TOPPING

½ cup butter

1tsp garlic powder

1tsp Old Bay seasoning

pinch of salt

Preheat oven to 400°. Combine flour, baking powder, salt and butter in a large mixing bowl and use a dough cutter/blender, spoon, or electric mixer until you’ve formed a dough with pea-sized lumps. I use a dough blender because I like doing it by hand. Slowly add in milk and keep mixing with a spoon until desired consistency.

Stir in garlic powder and cheese. Use a spoon or scoop to place 2" drops of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until golden, 16 to 18 min. My oven finishes them around 12 to 15 min because it runs 25 degrees hotter.
