Yield 12-14 buscuits, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

cooking spray
1 3/4 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons vegetable shortening, at room temperature
4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
6 ounces grated cheddar cheese (about 1-1/4 cps)
3/4 cup whole milk
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 garlic clove, smashed
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees. Lightly mist a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
  • To make the biscuits: pulse the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a food processor. Add the shortening and pulse until combined. Add the butter; pulse 4 or 5 times, or until the butter is in pea-size pieces. Add the cheese and pulse 2 or 3 times. Pour in the milk and pulse just until the mixture is moistened and forms a shaggy dough.
  • Turn dough out onto a clean surface and gently knead until the dough comes together. Do not overwork the dough or the biscuits will be tough.
  • Drop the dough onto the baking sheet in scant 1/4 cp. portions, 2 inches apart, andbake until golden, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make he garlic butter: melt the butter with the garlic in a small saucepan over medium heat; cook for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the parsley. Brush the biscuits with thegarlic butter and serve warm.
