Garlic-Cheddar Biscuits

These are so good, the first time I made them there were none leftover that evening, and I’ve been making them as a apres-ski snack or as an accompaniment to my Hearty Ham and Bean Soup.

They’re super-quick and super-easy!

Ingredients

• 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 5 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 1 clove garlic, minced

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
2. In a large bowl, sift together flour, salt and baking powder.
3. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Make a well in the center of flour mixture. Add the milk and cheddar cheese; stir to combine.
5. Drop batter by spoonfuls onto an ungreased baking sheet; will make about 16-20 biscuits.
6. Bake  for 12-15 minutes, until lightly browned.
7. While biscuits are baking mix melted butter and minced garlic.
8. Spoon garlic butter over hot baked biscuits and serve
