Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups biscuit mix
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 1/3 stick Land O Lakes butter, cubed
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup shredded mild Cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Mix all ingredients together, adding more milk if the batter seems stiff.
  2. Drop spoonfuls of batter onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
  3. Bake at 450°F until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
  4. Brush the tops with melted butter before serving.

Tips & Substitutions

For a richer flavor, consider using a blend of cheeses like sharp Cheddar and Parmesan. If you don't have biscuit mix, you can substitute with a homemade blend of flour, baking powder, and salt. If the batter is too stiff, adding a bit of extra milk can help achieve the right consistency. For an extra kick, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes.

Serving Suggestions

These garlic-cheese biscuits are perfect as a side for soups or salads, enhancing any meal with their savory flavor. They also pair beautifully with Scott's Favorite Garlic-Cheese Biscuits, adding a cozy touch to any gathering. For a brunch option, serve them alongside scrambled eggs or a fresh fruit salad for a delightful contrast.

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. To reheat, place the biscuits in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-10 minutes until warmed through, which helps maintain their texture. Alternatively, you can microwave them for 15-20 seconds, but this may result in a softer biscuit.
