Ingredients
- 2 Cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 tsp. Salt
- 2 tsp. Baking Powder
- 1 Garlic Clove, Minced
- 1/2 C. Butter (no substitutes)
- 1/2 C. Cheddar Cheese
- 2/3 C. Milk
Directions
-
Mix the flour, salt, baking powder and garlic in a large bowl.
-
Cut 5 1/2 Tbsp. of the butter in chunks and add it to the flour mixture and cut it in with a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture has relatively small pieces of butter throughout.
-
Add thecheese and mix, then the milk and mix only until combined
-
(over-working the mixture will lead to tough biscuits). If
-
mixture is sticky, add a little flour. Shape into biscuits a
-
couple inches wide and an inch or so tall with your hands and
-
place on the baking sheet that you roasted the chicken
-
& vegetables on (don’t clean it… the drippings add flavor to
-
the biscuits). Bake in a 425 degrees F oven for about 12 minutes
-
until bottoms are golden brown. Melt the remaining 2 1/2 Tbsp.
-
butter and drizzle over the biscuits. Makes 9-12 biscuits
