Ingredients, batter:

• 2 1/2 cups Bisquick baking mix
• 4 Tbsp cold butter (1/2 stick)
• 1 heaping cup grated cheddar cheese
• 3/4 cup cold whole milk
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder

• 2 Tbsp butter, melted
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp dried parsley flakes
• pinch of salt (optional)

Preparation: Combine Bisquick with butter in a medium bowl using a pastry cutter or a large fork until the chunks of butter are about the size of peas. Add cheddar cheese, milk, and garlic powder. Mix by hand until combined, but don’t over mix.

Drop approximately 1/4-cup portions of the batter onto an ungreased cookie sheet using an ice cream scoop. (Use parchment paper if you don’t like dark bottoms on the biscuits.)

Bake for 15 to 17 minutes at 400 degrees, or until the tops of the biscuits begin to turn light brown.

While baking, prepare topping by stirring all ingredients together. Use a brush to spread this garlic butter over the tops of all the biscuits. Use up all of the butter. (Some people brush the topping on the biscuits three minutes before they are done baking, and return the biscuits to the oven.)

Yield: 12 biscuits
