Ingredients
- Biscuit Dough
1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
5 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
3 tablespoons vegetables shortening, chilled
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 1/2 pieces, chilled
6 ounces (1 1/4 cups) grated cheddar cheese, preferably yellow
3/4 cup whole milk
- Garlic Butter
3 tablespoons salted butter
1 clove garlic, grated
1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
- Preheat oven to 425º F. Spray a cooking sheet with cooking spray, or line with parchment paper.
- Put the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and garlic powder in a food processor. Pulse 1-2 times to combine. Add the shortening. Pulse to combine, about 4 pulses. Add the butter and pulse 4-5 times, until butter is pea-sized. Add the cheese and pulse 3 times. Add the mil and pulse until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn dough onto a surface that is lightly floured. Knead 5-10 times, until the dough comes together.
- Drop biscuits by scant 1/4 cup scoops,2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until golden, 15-20 minutes.
- While the biscuits are cooking, make the garlic butter. Melt the butter over low heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat and add the parsley.
- When the biscuits are cooked, immediately brush them with the garlic butter. Serve warm.
