Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for sauce thickening)
• 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste

How to Make Cheddar Biscuits with Savory Sauce

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and paprika.
3. Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
5. Pour in the milk and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, drop heaping tablespoons of the biscuit dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and fluffy. Remove from the oven and set aside.
8. While the biscuits are baking, prepare the savory sauce. In a saucepan over medium heat, add olive oil and heat until shimmering.
9. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of flour into the oil, stirring constantly for about 1 minute to create a roux.
10. Slowly whisk in the broth, garlic powder, and onion powder. Continue to whisk until the sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
11. Serve the warm cheddar biscuits topped with the savory sauce.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use cold butter to ensure flaky biscuits.
• Do not overmix the dough; it should be slightly lumpy.
• For even baking, make sure the biscuits are uniform in size.
• Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese for variation.

Easy Variations

• Substitute the cheddar cheese with pepper jack for a spicy kick.
• Add chopped fresh herbs like chives or parsley into the dough for added flavor.
• For a sweeter touch, drizzle honey over the biscuits before serving.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side.
• Scrambled eggs or a vegetable frittata for a heartier meal.
• Crispy bacon or sausage for a classic brunch experience.
• A simple green salad dressed with vinaigrette for balance.
