Cheddar Garlic Biscuits

Bruce loves the Cheddar Bay Biscuits from Red Lobster.

I will admit, they are tasty little bites of warm goodness.  My mom had a decent "copy-cat" recipe for these that she would make on occasion when I was growing up, but I did not have the recipe, and after a number of failed attempts to create a successful replica of the original recipe, Bruce has deemed these biscuits "delicious"...that is, once his mouth was empty.

Cheddar Garlic Biscuits

Ingredients:

2 c. flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp sugar
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/8-1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (depending on taste)
1 c. shredded cheddar cheese
1 c. buttermilk
1/2 c. butter (melted and cooled)

4 Tbs butter (melted)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp parsley

Directions:

Preheat oven to 475.

Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper in a medium bowl.  Stir in cheese, buttermilk and melted butter until thoroughly incorporated.

Enjoy!
