GARLIC CHEDDAR BISCUITS

(Raeja's version)

Ingredients:

2 cups flour

2 tsp Baking Powder

1/2 tsp Baking Soda

1/2 tsp Salt

2 tsp sugar

1/2 cold Real butter (1 stick) (frozen or solid because you will need to grate it)

1 cup Buttermilk

1 cup Cheddar Cheese (I used Sharp Cheddar)

1/2 tsp Garlic Powder

For the tops after cooking:

3 TBS melted Butter

1 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp dried parsley flakes

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a medium bowl add flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar.

Grate your butter into the bowl. If too soft you can cut into tiny pieces. Blend with a pastry knife to form crumbs.

Fold in the buttermilk and mix until blended. Add cheddar cheese and garlic powder. Mix with clean hands until blended together anbd forms a nice ball. When it looks smooth, it is ready to roll out. If dough is a little sticky add a tad more flour and blend well.

Roll into 1/2 inch round. Cut into round circles using a round cutter or you can use a drinking glass (as I did). Place in a square baking dish. Put the biscuits as close together as possible so that they will rise up and not outward. I put parchment paper on the bottom of the pan but I am sure you could do a light spray of butter flavored cooking oil.

Bake for about 15 minutes or until it has a light golden color.

Combine The topping ingredients and brush it on top of the finished biscuits as soon as they come out of the oven. Serve immediately. I did have leftovers and put them in a ziploc and heated them as I wanted to eat them. Still good and did not last many days.
