Cheesy Biscuits

A friend from work, Brandi, got me addicted to Red Lobster.  When I worked at CEC, we'd go there frequently for lunch.  I don't even like any kind of seafood, but I do love their cheddar bay biscuits.  This recipe is not a 100% match, but is delicious nonetheless!  One of our favorite sides with a dinner salad. 

Cheddar Biscuits
Recipe adapted from GMA and Lauren's Latest

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/3 cup cold butter, cubed
• 1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup milk

Topping:

• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• ¼ teaspoon dried parsley flakes
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• pinch salt 

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. 
2. Whisk dry ingredients together in a medium-sized mixing bowl. 
3. Cut cold butter into small cubes, and then use a pastry knife to combine with dry mixture until coarse. 
4. Add milk and shredded cheese, and mix just until blended (don't over mix).
5. Using a cookie scoop, drop clumps of batter onto cookie sheet and bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges and on top of the biscuits. 
6. While baking, melt 2 tablespoons of butter, and add parsley, garlic powder, and salt.  Brush on top of cooked biscuits and serve immediately.
