Red Lobster's Cheddar Biscuits

Let me just start this post by saying these biscuits are wonderful! I found this recipe in our local newspaper, and they give credit to food.com. as there source. The recipe starts with Bisquick baking mix and to it are added cheddar cheese, butter and garlic to make a tender and rich biscuit in short order. I've served them this week with clam chowder; the recipe to be posted tomorrow, hopefully. Blessings...

Recipe:

2-1/2 cups Bisquick baking mix
4 tbsps. cold butter (1/2 stick)
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
3/4 cup milk
1/2 tsp. garlic powder

To brush on top:
2 tbsps. butter, melted
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. dried parsley flakes

1. Combine Bisquick with cold butter in a medium bowl using a pastry blender or a large fork. You don't want to mix too thoroughly. There should be small chunks of butter that are about the size of peas.
2. Add cheddar cheese, milk and 1/2 tsp. garlic powder. Mix with spoon until combined. Don't overmix.
3. Drop approximately 1/4 cup of the batter onto an ungreased cookie sheet using an ice cream scoop or a 1/4 cup measure.
4. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 15-20 minutes or until the tops of the biscuits begin to turn light brown.
5. In the meantime, melt 2 tbsps butter in a small bowl in the microwave. Stir in the garlic powder and parsley flakes. Brush on the top of hot biscuits with a pastry brush. Serve warm or cool completely on a wire rack.

Yield: 11 biscuits
