Garlic Cheese Biscuits

Growing up, every meal had to be rounded off with bread. Whether it was biscuits, crescent rolls, or just buttered toast; we always had bread with our meal. I don't know why. For some reason, the big pile of carbs spaghetti on our plates just wasn't enough. :)

Anyway, I took that with me, and I now have a hard time not including some sort of bread with dinner.

I made these for the first time forever ago, and they've been one of my favorite "quick and easy" biscuit recipes ever since. Sure, they're not as easy as the canned biscuits, but they're pretty darn close.

And who doesn't love the combo of garlic and cheese??

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups biscuit mix
• 1/2 cup grated sharp Cheddar
• 1/2 cup water

Garlic Butter:

• 1/2 stick unsalted butter, melted
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon dried parsley flakes

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Combine the biscuit mix and cheese in a small bowl. Add the water and stir just until combined. The dough will be slightly moist. Drop the dough by tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes, until the biscuits are firm and beginning to brown.

While the biscuits are baking, make the garlic butter. In a small bowl, combine the butter, garlic powder, salt, and parsley flakes. Mix well. As soon as you bring the biscuits from the oven, brush them with the garlic butter using a pastry brush . Yields 12 small biscuits.
