🍯🧄 Honey Garlic Parmesan Biscuits: The Ultimate Sweet & Savory Bake

If you're the kind of person who loves a biscuit that walks the line between sweet and savory — Honey Garlic Parmesan Biscuits might just become your new obsession. Think warm, flaky biscuits infused with the richness of garlic, the nuttiness of parmesan cheese, and a touch of golden sweetness from honey. Whether you're making them for brunch, a holiday dinner, or just to snack on with tea, these biscuits are going to steal the show.

Let’s break it down so you can make them from scratch, right in your kitchen.

📝 What You’ll Need: Ingredients Breakdown

Here’s everything that goes into these delicious biscuits, with a quick look at what each ingredient brings to the table:

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour – The base of the biscuit, giving it structure.

  • 1 tablespoon baking powder – For that sky-high rise and fluffiness.

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder – Adds savory depth without overpowering.

  • ½ teaspoon salt – Balances flavor and enhances all the other ingredients.

Fat + Flavor

  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter (cold) – Cut into cubes. This creates flaky layers in the biscuit. Make sure it’s cold!

  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese – Sharp, salty, and cheesy goodness in every bite.

Liquid

  • ¾ cup cold buttermilk (or milk + 1 tsp vinegar as substitute) – Adds moisture and tang, helping with rise and flavor.

Sweet Garlic Butter Topping

  • 3 tablespoons butter (melted)

  • 1 tablespoon honey – Sweet and floral, balances the garlic and cheese.

  • 1 clove garlic (minced or grated) – Adds a little kick of real garlic flavor.

  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional) – For color and a hint of freshness.

🥣 Step-by-Step: How to Make Honey Garlic Parmesan Biscuits

Step 1: Preheat & Prep

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt.

Step 3: Cut in the Butter

Add the cold cubed butter into the flour mix. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs — some small chunks of butter are okay. These melt during baking to create flakiness.

Step 4: Add Cheese & Liquid

Stir in the Parmesan. Then slowly add the buttermilk, mixing just until the dough comes together. Avoid over-mixing — this can make the biscuits tough.

Step 5: Shape the Dough

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently pat it into a ¾-inch thick rectangle. You can cut the biscuits using a round cutter or simply slice them into squares for a rustic look.

Step 6: Bake

Place the biscuits on the tray, close together for soft sides or spaced out for crispier edges. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

Step 7: Make the Honey Garlic Butter

While the biscuits bake, melt the butter in a small saucepan. Stir in the honey and garlic. Warm gently — don’t burn the garlic!

Step 8: Brush and Finish

As soon as the biscuits are out of the oven, brush them generously with the honey garlic butter. Sprinkle with fresh parsley if you like.

🔥 Pro Tips for Perfect Biscuits

  • Cold butter is key! It helps the biscuits rise and flake. You can even freeze the butter and grate it in.

  • Don’t overwork the dough. Mix until just combined — the less you touch it, the better the texture.

  • Use freshly grated Parmesan. Pre-shredded cheese has anti-caking agents that affect melting and flavor.

  • Want spice? Add a pinch of chili flakes to the garlic butter for a sweet-heat kick.

🍽️ How to Serve Honey Garlic Parmesan Biscuits

  • With soup: Pair with tomato basil or creamy mushroom soup.

  • As a side: Perfect for roast chicken, grilled veggies, or holiday ham.

  • As a snack: Reheat and enjoy with tea or coffee.

  • Mini sandwiches: Slice and stuff with turkey or ham for a next-level lunch.

🧊 Storing & Reheating

  • Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container at room temp for up to 2 days or refrigerate for 4–5.

  • To reheat: Wrap in foil and warm in a 300°F oven for 5–10 minutes.

💬 Final Thoughts

These Honey Garlic Parmesan Biscuits are an irresistible twist on the classic biscuit. They're buttery, flaky, cheesy, garlicky — and then that final kiss of honey just seals the deal. Whether you serve them as a side or eat three straight off the tray (we’ve all been there), they’re guaranteed to please.

Give them a try and let me know how they turn out — and if you add your own twist, I’d love to hear about it!
