Cheddar Garlic Biscuits

I was in the mood for some biscuits today...cheddar garlic biscuits! I modified a recipe because it lacked the cheesy garlic taste for my liking. I love cheese and garlic! I decided I wanted more of those flavors in these biscuits.

Ingredients List

Biscuits:

2 1/2 cups Bisquick

4 Tbsp cold butter

1 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

3/4 cup milk

1/2 tsp garlic powder

Garlic Butter Topping:

2 Tbsp butter

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp dried parsley flakes

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. 

   My batter ingredients: bisquick, butter, cheese, milk, and garlic powder.

                                                    

 1. In a medium size bowl, combine the bisquick and garlic powder. Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the bisquick. Then fork the batter together. The butter will not fully smooth out but will have small chunks. Then mix in the cheese and add the milk. Mix with fork until combined. 

The batter mix looks and is gooey like this but the end results are worth it!I can't even try to make this picture look pretty.

2. Make sure the pan is greased and batter is evenly spaced. Makes approx 6 - 1/2 cup or 12 - 1/4 cup biscuits. 

Oh, the garlic buttery goodness!
Garlic butter Topping: butter, garlic and dried parsley for color.

                    

3. Microwave the butter for 30 seconds. Stir in the garlic and parsley.
 

4. Approximately 8 minutes into baking I take out the biscuits to spread on the garlic butter topping and put the biscuits back in to bake for the remaining time. I tend to like the buttered top baked into the biscuits*. This is a personal preference. However, you may add the garlic butter topping at the very end, after the biscuits are immediately done baking.

5. Bake for 13-15 minutes.

Tips:

A pastry brush is great for spreading on the garlic butter.

*When the putting on the butter during mid-baking, it does splatter and settle into the batter sides. The end result might become darker brown. Watch the biscuits closely. Don't lose track of the time. If you tend to get distracted, perhaps adding the garlic butter at the end will be best for you.
 

Ooo la la! I'm ready to eat them!

Serve as a snack, with your favorite meal, or they even taste good with sausage gravy smothered on top!
