Name: Easy Homemade Garlic Cheddar Biscuits
Ingredients: 2 ½ cups of self-rising flour; 2 teaspoons of sugar; ½ cup butter or shortening (I use shortening for lighter biscuits); 1 cup of buttermilk**; 3/4 cup shredded cheddar; 3 cloves garlic, minced (or 3 tsp. if you buy the pre-minced jars like I do!); 4 Tbsp. butter; 2 tsp. garlic salt (–> this is my favorite kind!!)

Description

These super soft and easy biscuits can be ready to eat in under 30 minutes!

Ingredients

Scale

For the biscuits:

2 ½ cups of self-rising flour
2 teaspoons of sugar
½ cup butter or shortening (I use shortening for lighter biscuits)
1 cup of buttermilk**
3/4 cup shredded cheddar
3 cloves garlic, minced (or 3 tsp. if you buy the pre-minced jars like I do!)

To brush on after baking:

4 Tbsp. butter
2 tsp. garlic salt (–> this is my favorite kind!!)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450°F.
Mix sugar and flour. Cut shortening into flour with a pastry blender.
Stir in buttermilk, cheddar and garlic until well combined.
Drop by the spoonful onto cookie sheet.
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.
After baking, place 4 Tbsp. of butter in a microwavable dish. Add 2-3 cloves of minced garlic (or a 2 tsp. of garlic powder). Melt and fuse the garlic with the butter.
Brush over the hot biscuits! SO yummy!

Notes

** If you don’t have buttermilk on hand, you can measure out 1 cup of milk minus 1 Tbsp. Then add 1 Tbsp. of white vinegar or lemon juice and let it stand for about 5 minutes. Then you have 1 cup of buttermilk!
