Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- Mix baking mix, milk, and cheese until soft dough forms; beat vigorously for 30 seconds.
- Drop dough by spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown.
- Mix melted butter and garlic powder, then brush over warm biscuits before removing from the cookie sheets.
- Serve warm.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, try adding herbs like chives or parsley to the dough for extra flavor. If you don't have cheddar, any melty cheese like mozzarella or Monterey Jack works well. Make sure not to overmix the dough; it should be soft yet cohesive. For a richer taste, consider using buttermilk instead of regular milk. These biscuits are similar to those in many American recipes and can be enjoyed at any meal.
Serving Suggestions
These cheese and garlic biscuits are best served warm, straight from the oven. They pair wonderfully with soups, stews, or as a side for a hearty meal like Steak Supper In Foil Package. For a special touch, consider serving them with a garlic herb butter or alongside a fresh salad for a complete meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. If you want to keep them longer, freeze them in a zip-top bag for up to 3 months. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes until warmed through, maintaining their fluffy texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a gluten-free biscuit mix for this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute a gluten-free biscuit baking mix to make these biscuits gluten-free. Just ensure that the mix is designed for biscuits, as different blends may require adjustments in liquid or baking time.
What can I use instead of butter?
If you're looking for a dairy-free option, you can use olive oil or a plant-based butter substitute. This will still give the biscuits a lovely flavor while accommodating dietary restrictions.
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
While it's best to bake the biscuits fresh, you can prepare the dough and refrigerate it for up to 2 hours before baking. If you need to store it longer, consider freezing the formed dough balls, then bake them straight from the freezer, adding a couple of extra minutes to the baking time.
