Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ⅛ teaspoon onion powder
- ⅛ teaspoon dried parsley

- 5 tablespoon unsalted butter

- Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, cheese (I like hold a little back to sprinkle over the tops) garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, and salt together in a large bowl or your big standing mixer.
- Cut up the butter in small pieces and then add to the flour mix and work with your fingers until they are small as peas.
- Add the Greek Yogurt and the water to a separate bowl or large measuring cup. Mix together.
- Mix the Greek yogurt in with the flour, until just combined
- Wet your hands and divide the batter into 16 balls, dropping them on the prepared baking sheet as you work.
- Arrange on the baking sheet, you can get them close together as they don’t spread too much but make sure they are not touching.
- Bake for 15-17 minutes, until slightly golden.
- Remove from the oven, let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.
- Serve hot, or chill and serve cold later.
