Cheddar Garlic Biscuits

Pass the mints because these are some good garlic biscuits that I know you won't want to pass up.



Cheddar Garlic Biscuits

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup shortening
1 cup finely shredded cheddar cheese
1/2  to 3/4 cup buttermilk or milk
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons melted butter

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder and salt.   Use a pastry knife or table fork to cut shortening into flour until mixture has small pea-sized lumps.  Mix in cheese.  Add enough buttermilk to make a soft dough. Scoop biscuit mix onto ungreased cookie sheet.  Bake for 14 - 16 minutes or until golden brown.  Add garlic powder to melted butter and brush on top of baked biscuits.  Serve warm. Makes 8 large or 12 small biscuits.

Step 1:  Cut shortening into flour mixture.




Step 2:  Add cheddar cheese.



Step 3:  Add buttermilk to make a soft dough.  Scoop onto a cookie sheet and flatten the balls with the back of the scoop.  I made 8 large biscuits.  In the photo, four have been flattened and four are awaiting their squishy doom.




Step 4:  Bake and then brush with the garlic butter. Eat!!!  Eat!!! Eat!!!
