Garlic Cheddar Biscuits

These biscuits are fast and easy to make, and include no pre-made ingredients. I don’t know about you but I love anything with garlic on it. These biscuits are delicious!

Go ahead and put the flour, baking powder, sugar, cream of tartar, salt, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder into a mixing bowl. Stir until combined. Add in the softened butter and cut in with a pastry blender, a few forks, or with your hands if you are brave. Stop when the butter is worked in, but still lumpy.

Then add in the cheese, sour cream, and milk and stir until the dry ingredient are wet. It’s okay to have some lumps! When you are done you can place the dough in large spoon-fulls on a greased cookie sheet with sides (recommended).

Next you will need to melt 1 stick of butter, 1.5 teaspoons of garlic powder, 1 tsp parsley, and ¼ tsp salt in a bowl. Spoon half of this mixture over the unbaked dough on the cookie sheet.

Bake at 450 for 18-20 minutes, depending on the size of biscuits you’ve made. You want them golden brown on the top. Spoon the rest of the butter mixture over the cooked rolls.
