Garlic Cheese Biscuits

I LOVE garlic cheese biscuits.  They are one of the most pleasurable things in this world that have nothing to do with chocolate.  Crispy crusty outside; soft, tender inside.  Cheesy, garlicky, buttery goodenss!!!  You really need to make these now!


When I was in a senior in high school I would go to the technical college every other day for Culinary Arts.  It was a good opportunity for me to try out what I thought I wanted to do for the rest of my life before going to a more pristine college.  At the technical college, the culinary students were the cooks for the school cafeteria.  I was allowed to make what I wanted every now & then to sell out in our bakery case.  The first time I made these for the case they were a huge hit.  We had customers requesting them almost daily for a while, so even if I hadn't planned on baking them for that day, I would sometimes be rushing in the back to whip up a fresh batch. They are so fast & easy.  SO. DARN. GOOD! 


These biscuits remind me of the biscuits at Red Lobster, & since I am not a huge seafood fan, I rarely go there, but I don't need to because mine are just as good at home.

Garlic Cheese Biscuits

Recipe by: Amber (Dessert Now, Dinner Later!)

Biscuit:

• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1 Tbsp sugar
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 3/4 tsp garlic powder
• 3/4 cup grated cheddar cheese (or colby jack)
• 1/3 cup butter (5 Tbsp+1tsp)
• 1/2 cup milk

Butter Topping:

• 2 Tbsp butter, melted
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp salt

1. Combine, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, garlic powder & cheese in a bowl.  Cut in butter with a pastry blender as you would for pie dough.
2. Add milk all at once & stir gently until just incorporated.  The dough should be very soft & sticky, but still hold together.  With a large spoon, drop dough onto a lightly greased baking sheet.
3. Bake at 400*F for 15-20 minutes or until lightly brown on top.
4. Combine ingredients for the butter topping & brush the tops of the freshly baked biscuits.  Enjoy!

*Makes 6 large biscuits
