Garlic Cheese Biscuits

With Thanksgiving just a few days away I could post a cute craft for the table but instead I present to you Garlic Cheese Biscuits. This recipe is one I made by altering a standard baking powder recipe. They will turn out to be very similar to the addictive ones severed at a certain seafood chain that sounds like Led Robster. So instead of bringing store bought bread or heat and serve dinner rolls bring these and I promise they will impress. In addition to being extremely tasty they are very simple to make and require no special ingredients that one can never find at a grocery store. As with any recipe involving seasonings feel free to alter to your liking.

Biscuit Ingredients (makes 12)

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 4  tablespoons butter (cold)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup Colby Jack cheese (any mild orange cheese will work)
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 3/4 cup milk  (whole works best if you have it)

Butter Topping Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1/2 tablespoon parsley
• 1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon kosher salt for sprinkling (sea salt would also work)

No need to a rolling pin or biscuit cutter

Directions 

• Combine flour, salt, baking powder, garlic powder and mix thoroughly.
• Cut butter into small pieces and then work into flour/season mix by hand.
• Add cheese then mix thoroughly.
• Pour in milk the work dough by hand until a soft shaggy dough if formed.
• Pull apart into 12 pieces and place on a greased or non-stick pan and bake at 400 deg. for 12-14 min.
• Make your topping while the biscuits bake as follows; melt 4 tablespoons butter then add the garlic and parsley and mix.
• Once biscuits are baked use a basting brush to add the melted butter to the tops of the biscuits. Just a brush or two on each will do.
• Sprinkle with a small amount of kosher salt. As always with kosher salt a little goes a long way.
• Serve warm and enjoy!
