Garlic Cheese Biscuits

This recipe is dedicated to my Facebook friend Michelle.  :o)

Here’s what you need:

3/4 cup wheat flour

1 1/4 cup unbleached white flour ( I have used fresh ground pastry flour)

2 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. salt

1/4 cup butter-cold ( I have also used organic shortening if I was short on butter)

2 Tbsp. honey

1 1/3 cups buttermilk

1/2 tsp garlic powder (I’m sure I use more than this, I just usually dump it in!  lol)

1 cup grated cheddar cheese

Combine dry ingredients.  Cut butter into dry ingredients.  Add honey and buttermilk.  Only add enough buttermilk until dough is sticky (I rarely use all it calls for).  Add cheese and garlic.  Spray a cookie sheet with Pam and plop spoonfuls of dough onto the cookie sheet.  One batch makes about 9 big biscuits.  I always double this recipe.  Bake at 425 for 12 minutes or until lightly browned.  Serve warm!

I recently served this with baked fish and acorn squash.  We also love these biscuits with any kind of soup. 

Enjoy!
