Garlic Cheese Biscuits

This one of my all-time favorite lab recipes.  These drop biscuits couldn't be any easier, and they taste divine.  

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

 2 teaspoons baking powder

5 tablespoons butter

1 cup milk

1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon dried chopped parsley flakes                    

                   

1/4 cup Melted butter with a dash of garlic powder for brushing the tops of baked biscuits                   

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
2. In a large bowl, sift together flour, salt and baking powder, garlic powder, and parsley. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. You may use a pastry bender or a knife and fork to do this cutting in.   Make a well in the center of flour mixture. Add the milk and cheddar cheese; stir to combine. Do not overmix. Drop batter by spoonfuls onto an ungreased baking sheet.               
3. Bake in preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, until lightly browned. While biscuits are baking mix melted butter and garlic powder.   Brush garlic butter over hot baked biscuits.  Yum!!
