Cheese Garlic Biscuits

I think what really makes them great is using Homemade Bisquick :)

Joshua made these the other night to go with our Pollo con Piña.

2 c. bisquick

¼ c. margarine or butter, melted

2/3 c. milk

¼ t. garlic powder

½ c. shredded cheddar cheese

· Heat oven to 450. Mix baking mix, milk and cheese until soft dough forms; beat 30 seconds.

· Drop dough by 10 to 12 spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet.

· Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. Mix melted oleo & garlic powder; brush over warm biscuits before removing from cookie sheet. Serve warm.



**I sometimes add a little garlic powder to the bisquick as I mix in the milk. These taste a lot like the biscuits at Red Lobster. They go great with spaghetti. Joshua’s always turn out better than mine!







Homemade Bisquick Mix


Makes 7 cups

3 cups white flour

3 cups whole wheat flour

3 Tbsp baking powder

1 Tbsp salt

1 cup shortening


1. Whisk flour together in a large bowl with baking powder and salt until well blended.

2. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender until mixture resembles fine crumbs.

3. Store mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 months.

4. Use whenever your recipe calls for BISQUICK.


**the original recipe that I found on the Internet had you sift the dry ingredients together three times…using a wire whisk is much easier and gives the same results. It also called for 6 cups of white flour, but we like doing half whole wheat and half white flour.
