Cheddar Biscuits

Cheesy, buttery, with just the right amount of garlic and herbs (and made with white whole wheat four!)... You have got to make these.

• 2 cups flour (all purpoase, but I used white whole wheat with great results!)
• 1 Tbsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 3 Tbsp butter flavored crisco
• 2 Tbsp cold butter
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 1/2cups grated sharp cheddar

Mix together your flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic. Cut in crisco and butter until you have coarse crumbs. Then, stir in your grated cheese. Add your buttermilk and mix until just moistened. Do NOT over mix, or you will have dry and tough biscuits. Drop biscuits onto a greased baking sheet and bake at 425 for 10-15 minutes (until golden brown).

To make these biscuits out-of-this-world scrumptious, melt some butter while the biscuits are baking. Add some garlic and herbs (I used an Italian herb mix) to the butter and brush on the tops of the biscuits as soon as they come out of the oven.

Enjoy...
