Fluffy, buttery, and bursting with garlicky herb goodness, these homemade garlic herb biscuits are a perfect side dish for any meal. They come together quickly with simple ingredients and offer a savory, comforting flavor that complements soups, roasts, and brunch spreads.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
  • 1 tsp dried thyme or rosemary
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk (plus more if needed)
  • 2 tbsp melted butter (for brushing)
  • Optional: 1 clove garlic, minced (for extra flavor in the butter)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, baking soda, salt, and dried herbs. Ensure these dry ingredients for your garlic herb biscuits are well combined.
  3. Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry blender, two forks, or your fingertips to cut the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter still visible. This step is key for flaky garlic herb biscuits.
  4. Make a well in the center of the flour-butter mixture and pour in the cold buttermilk. Stir gently with a fork or spatula until the dough just comes together. Avoid overmixing to keep your garlic herb biscuits tender.
  5. Turn the shaggy dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat it into a 1-inch thick circle or rectangle. Do not knead. You can gently fold the dough over itself once or twice to create layers.
  6. Using a 2-inch round cutter or your hands, form the biscuits. Press straight down without twisting the cutter, or drop heaping spoonfuls for rustic garlic herb drop biscuits.
  7. Place the formed garlic herb biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about an inch between them for crispier edges or closer for softer sides.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the garlic herb biscuits are tall and golden brown on top.
  9. While the biscuits bake, melt the 2 tablespoons of butter. If using, stir in the minced garlic.
  10. Immediately after removing the biscuits from the oven, brush the tops generously with the garlic butter mixture for a flavorful finish.

Notes

  • Ensure your baking powder and baking soda are fresh for optimal rise.
  • Work quickly when cutting in the butter to keep it cold.
  • Do not overmix the dough; a shaggy appearance is desired for tender garlic herb biscuits.
  • Press straight down when cutting biscuits to ensure they rise properly.
  • Serve these garlic herb biscuits warm for the best texture and flavor.
