Cheddar and Garlic Drop Biscuits

Do you like Red Lobster's cheddar biscuits? Then you will love this recipe -- made with real, wholesome ingredients instead of those mixes so many copycat recipes out there use. These are easy peasy and are done from start to finish within 20 minutes! Oh, and did I mention they are delicious?

2 cups flour
1 Tbsp baking powder
1 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp granulated garlic (garlic powder)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter, melted
1 cup whole milk
8 oz shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Topping
1/4 c. (1/2 stick) butter, melted
1/2 tsp dried parsley crumbled finely
kosher salt

Preheat oven to 450 and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Combine flour, baking powder, sugar, garlic and salt and stir together until well mixed. Add butter and milk and stir until flour is wet and ingredients are combined. Do not overmix (it makes tough biscuits). Add half the cheddar cheese and stir, add the rest of the cheese and mix again to make sure cheese is well distributed.

Drop heaping tablespoons of dough on parchment. Bake for 10-12 minutes, moving pans from top to bottom and visa versa so that the biscuits are evenly baked. Bake only until tops are lightly browns and bottoms are browned, but not burned. Biscuits will spring back when touched with your finger.

While biscuits are baking, combine the melted butter and parsley. Immediately  brush the baked biscuits with melted butter mixture while on the pan. If you want, you can sprinkle a pinch of kosher salt on top.

Remove biscuits from baking sheets and serve warm.

Makes approximately 18 biscuits.
