Cheddar Biscuits

Garlic Cheddar Biscuits

Ingredients
(Makes one dozen biscuits)

2 ½ cups Bisquick baking mix
¾ cup cold whole milk
1/2 cup salted cold butter (1/2 stick)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 heaping cup grated cheddar cheese

Brush on Top:

2 tablespoons salted butter, melted
½ teaspoon dried parsley flakes
½ teaspoon garlic powder

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.

Combine Bisquick with cold butter in a medium bowl using a pastry cutter or a large fork. You don’t want to mix too thoroughly. There should be small chunks of butter in there that are about the size of peas. Add cheddar cheese, milk, and 1 teaspoon garlic. Gently mix by hand until combined, but don’t over mix.

Drop approximately ¼-cup portions of the dough onto an parchment lined, greased cookie sheet I use an ice cream/cookie scoop.

Bake for 15 to 17 minutes or until the tops of the biscuits begin to turn light brown.  I find that baking them on the top rack helps prevent the bottoms from browning too quickly.

Just before you take the biscuits out of the oven, melt the 2 tablespoons butter in a small bowl in your microwave. Stir in ½ teaspoon garlic powder, salt and the dried parsley flakes. Use a brush to spread this garlic butter over the tops of all the biscuits. Use up all of the butter. While still warm, eat and enjoy!

Baked Sea Scallops

Ingredients

4 Tbsp  butter,

1 1/2 lb. fresh or frozen sea scallops

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp paprika, sweet mild

1 tsp oregano, dried

2 clove garlic, minced

1/4 c parmesan cheese

1/4 c Panko bread crumbs

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C), and place the rack in the middle position.

 Melt the butter in a small butter warmer, small saucepan, or you could always nuke it in the microwave. Chef's Note: We all use the microwave for a variety of purposes; however, when you use it to melt butter, slow is the way to go... a low setting for about 3 minutes.

Pour the melted butter into a casserole dish; something around two quarts is perfect.  Note: Since you will be using this dish for presentation, if you have something nice... use it.

Place the scallops in the dish, and evenly distribute them in rows and columns over the butter.

Take the breadcrumbs, onion powder, paprika, oregano, minced garlic and parmesan cheese, and combine in a small mixing bowl. Your best tools for doing this are your hands... that way you can break up any lumps.

Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the scallops.

Bake until scallops are firm; or until an instant-read thermometer reads 146º,  this will take about twenty minutes.
