- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
For the Filling:
- 2 cups cooked shredded beef (e.g., leftover pot roast or slow-cooked beef)

- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley or thyme (for garnish)
Optional:

Instructions:
- Prepare the Biscuits:
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Slowly add buttermilk, mixing until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/2 inch thick and cut into square or round shapes.
- Assemble the Sandwiches:
- Place half of the biscuit shapes onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Layer the shredded beef and cheese on top of the biscuits.
- Sprinkle garlic powder and black pepper over the filling.
- Cover with the remaining biscuit shapes and press the edges lightly to seal.
- Bake:
- Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter for extra flavor and golden color.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes or until the biscuits are puffed and golden.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Once out of the oven, sprinkle fresh parsley or thyme over the tops.
- Serve warm, with a side of gravy or dipping sauce if desired.
