Cheddar Biscuits

Makes 12-15 biscuits.

2 cups all-purpose flour

3 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon garlic powder

1/3 cup butter, cold, cut into chunks

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 ¼ cups sharp cheddar cheese, grated

2/3 cup milk

3 tablespoons butter, melted

½ teaspoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped

Dash of salt

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and ¼ tsp. garlic powder. Stir together until well combined. Add in chunks of cold butter. Cut butter into flour mixture until butter is about in pea-sized pieces. Add oil, grated cheddar, and milk. Stir together. If necessary, add a little more milk a tablespoon at a time to moisten dough until it is no longer dry and can hold together in a dough.

Drop about ¼ cup pieces of dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for about 17 minutes, or until cooked through and bottoms are just beginning to turn brown.

While biscuits bake, mix melted butter, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, and parsley together.

After biscuits are done and still warm, brush garlic butter over tops of biscuits. Serve warm.
