Garlic Chedder Drop Biscuits
Serves: 24.
 
Ingredients
Biscuits:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon low-sodium baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons shortening
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold
  • 1 cup buttermilk (or 1 Tbsp vinegar plus enough skim milk to make 1 cup and let sit about 20 minutes before use.)
  • 1½ cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
Topping:
  • 3 Tbsp melted unsalted butter
  • ¼ tsp dried parsley
  • ¾ tsp garlic powder.
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly grease a baking sheet or spray it with cooking spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and garlic powder. Cut in shortening and butter until coarse crumbs are formed. Lightly mix in grated cheese. Mix in buttermilk just until moist (Don't overmix or the biscuits will be tough. Dry spots here and there are ok.)
  3. Drop the biscuits baking sheet. Bake for 12-14 minutes, until browned and golden.
  4. While the biscuits are baking, in a small bowl combine melted butter, dried parsley flakes, and garlic powder. Immediately after taking the biscuits out of the oven, brush the butter/herb mixture over the biscuits evenly, or dip the top of the biscuit into the butter mixture. Serve hot.
