Garlic Cheese Biscuits

I don't remember exactly where I first got this recipe, but I think it might have been from my sister Rachel. They're very yummy and are very similar to the garlic cheese biscuits from Red Lobster!

Garlic Cheese Biscuits
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 cup margarine (or shortening or butter)
2/3 cup - 3/4 cup milk
1 -2 tsp minced garlic (depending on how much garlic you like)
1/2 cup grated cheese

Mix all the dry ingredients and then cut in the margarine till crumbly (you can use a pastry blender or two knives). Add the garlic, cheese, and then the milk. (Add enough milk until the dough is sticky but not wet, if that makes sense, so add the milk slowly. If you added too much milk you can add a little more flour.) Using a fork, spoon the biscuits onto a greased pan (depending on the size of the biscuits it can make 8-12). Bake for 450 degrees for 8-12 minutes till the top is golden brown (obviously the larger the biscuits, the longer they'll need to cook).

Serve with Cream of Potato soup or my Chili/Minestrone soup.

*Note: You can also sprinkle some grated cheese on top of each biscuit before baking as seen in the biscuit on the left in the pic! It was no surprise to me that this was Chris's idea!

*Note: This is a very basic recipe and I never actually measure the garlic, cheese or milk, but just ad lib.

*Note: These are the best right out of the oven so I don't recommend you baking them earlier in the day for dinner later. If you want to get the dough ready to cook at a later time cover it with saran wrap and refrigerate it and then let it return to room temperature before cooking them.

Enjoy!
