Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 ½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted (plus more for topping)
  • 1 large egg

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard loaf pan well with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking and ensure even browning.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder until fully blended to create a uniform dry base for the biscuit loaf.
  3. Add Cheese: Gently fold in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese, ensuring it is evenly distributed and coated with the dry mixture to prevent clumping.
  4. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, and egg until smooth and fully incorporated to add moisture and richness to the loaf.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the loaf tender and light.
  6. Transfer to Loaf Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top with a spatula for even rising and baking.
  7. Bake: Bake the loaf for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating the loaf is cooked through.
  8. Butter the Top: Immediately after removing the loaf from the oven, brush the top with additional melted butter to add flavor and enhance the crust’s richness.
  9. Cool and Serve: Allow the loaf to cool slightly in the pan before slicing. Serve warm for the best cheesy, buttery experience.

Notes

  • For extra garlic flavor, add a sprinkle of freshly minced garlic or garlic salt on top before baking.
  • If buttermilk is unavailable, make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk, let it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Use sharp cheddar for best flavor, but mild cheddar or a blend of cheeses can be substituted if desired.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat gently in the oven for a fresh-baked texture.
