Cheddar Biscuits

Several posts ago, I posted a biscuit recipe from Clinton Street Bakery. That was my go to recipe for biscuits until...today.

I came across this Cheddar Biscuits recipe a while ago but haven't tried it until this morning. I am pretty positive these biscuits trumps the previous biscuit recipe. It's light and fluffy on the inside, touch of melted cheddar cheese flavor, and crunchy on the outside with a touch of garlic. It's the perfect biscuit recipe :o)



Cheddar Garlic Biscuits 

2 1/2 cups Bisquick baking mix
3/4 cup cold milk
4 tablespoons cold butter (1/2 stick)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 heaping cup grated cheddar cheese

Bush on Top:
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/4teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
pinch salt

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 1/4 teaspoon garlic. Mix by hand until combined, but don't over mix. Drop approximately 1/4cup portions of the dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet using an ice cream scoop. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes or until the tops of the biscuits begin to turn light brown. When you take the biscuits out of the oven, melt 2 tablespoons butter is a small bowl in your microwave. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 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. Makes one dozen biscuits.


*If you're making jumbo sized biscuits you will have about 8 biscuits.
