~*~ Cheddar Drop Biscuits ~*~

 
INGREDIENTS:
(for Biscuits)
2 1/2 cups Bisquick baking mix
3/4 cup cold whole milk
4 tablespoons cold butter
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 heaping cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
(for brushing on top)
2 tablespoons melted butter
1/4 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
a pinch of salt

Directions: Preheat oven to 400°F. Combine Bisquick with cold butter in a medium bowl using a pastry cutter or fork. You don't want to mix it too thoroughly... just until there are small chunks of butter about the size of peas. Add the cheddar cheese, milk and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder. Mix by hand until combined, without over-mixing. Drop dough in approximately 1/4 cup mounds onto an ungreased baking sheet. An ice cream scoop works best. Bake for 15-17 minutes or until the tops of the biscuits begin to turn light brown. When you take the biscuits out of the oven, melt the 2 tablespoons of butter and stir in the 1/4 teaspoon of parsley flakes, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder and pinch of salt. Brush over the tops of the warm biscuits, using up all of the butter. Makes about a dozen. Enjoy, Enjoy, Enjoy! ~ Chef ~
