Ingredients
  

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ tablespoons granulated white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon powdered garlic
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter cubed

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone mat.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and garlic. Cut on the butter using your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture clumps together and there are a few pea-sized pieces of butter left. Fold in the shredded cheddar.
  • In a separate bowl, beat together the egg and the milk. Add to the flour mixture and mix gently until mixture just beings to come together.
