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!
