Garlic Cheddar Biscuits

These are so good, even one of my cats had to see what the fuss was about. One time, I left some to cool in a partially covered container. When I went to put them away, it seemed as though one was missing. But I hadn't made an official count, so I didn't think any more of it. Two days later I found the missing biscuit under the dining room table. Don't worry, I didn't eat it ;) 

INGREDIENTS

•  4 Tbsp butter
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tsp dried parsley*
• 2 cups Bisquick OR
• 2 cups flour
• 1 Tbsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 2/3 Tbsp butter
• Blend dry ingredients, cut in butter with pastry blender
• 1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar Cheese
• 2/3 cup nonfat milk

 * The original recipe called for 2 Tbsp fresh chopped parsley, but I find it difficult to chop it up finely enough to distribute evenly among the biscuits.

DIRECTIONS

1.    Preheat oven to 400. Spray baking sheet.

2.    Combine biscuit mix, cheddar cheese, 1 clove garlic. Stir in milk and mix.

3.    Form small balls (the mix will be somewhat crumbly) and place on baking sheet (makes ~12 biscuits).

4.    Bake for 10 minutes.

5.    At ~7 minute mark, melt butter, add 1 clove garlic, and sauté on low heat for ~1 min. Remove from heat and stir in parsley.*

6.    Drizzle butter mix over biscuits and bake for an additional five minutes.

* I find that if I melt the butter too soon, it tends to congeal/be soaked up by the parsley/garlic, and I don’t have enough for all the biscuits.
