- Sea salt (for sprinkling)
Wet Ingredients

- â…” cups milk (151 grams)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (42 grams, melted, about ⅜ stick)
Instructions

- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cornbread mix, shredded cheddar cheese, and garlic powder until well distributed.
- Add Milk: Pour in the milk and stir gently just until the ingredients are incorporated, avoiding overmixing to keep biscuits tender.
- Drop Batter: Using a heaping tablespoon, drop the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
- Brush with Butter and Season: Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter, sprinkle dried parsley evenly, and add a light sprinkle of sea salt for flavor.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the biscuits for 13-15 minutes or until they turn golden brown on the bottom and cook through.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve immediately for the best texture, or transfer to a cooling rack if not serving right away.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough biscuits.
- Use freshly shredded cheddar for best melting and flavor.
- Customize by adding chopped jalapeños or herbs like chives for extra flavor.
- Serve warm for optimal taste and texture.
