Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour (if using), baking powder, baking soda, salt, and garlic powder (if desired).
Add the shredded cheddar cheese and stir to combine.
Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter, fork, or your hands to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the sourdough starter and Greek yogurt, followed by the milk. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the dough. Add a little more milk if needed to bring the dough together.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out the biscuits, pressing straight down without twisting. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter to help them brown and become golden.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Herb Infused: Add chopped fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme to the dough for a fragrant and savory twist.

Bacon Cheddar Biscuits: Add crispy, crumbled bacon to the dough for a bacon-cheddar flavor combination.

Spicy: For a kick, add some finely chopped jalapeños or red pepper flakes to the dough.

Vegan Version: Use plant-based yogurt, butter, and cheese alternatives for a vegan-friendly version of this recipe.

Different Cheeses: Experiment with other cheeses like Gouda, Monterey Jack, or Gruyère for a different flavor profile.
