Cheese & Garlic Biscuits

Once again I am trying to use up the leftovers in the fridge and freezer. This time I was using up the rest of the chili. Chili Time But I couldn’t just serve chili with nothing else to go with it, now could I?! So I made some cheese & garlic biscuits to go with my chili.

These biscuits were light and fluffy and so full of flavor.

Cheese & Garlic Biscuits

Preheat the oven to 450* F or 232*C.

Spray cooking spray onto a baking sheetpan.

The Biscuits

2 1/2 cups flour

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp baking powder

3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 tsp dried, minced garlic

1 tsp ranch seasoning or White Magic Seasoning White Magic Scallops

1 cup buttermilk

2 TBSP green onions or chives, sliced very thin

Combine all the dry ingredients together, including the cheese and the green onions and mix together well. Make a well in the center and add the buttermilk. I always use dried buttermilk that I mix with milk. This way it won’t go bad.

Mix from the inside out, and mix the dough just until everything is blended. DO NOT over mix or your biscuits will be tough. You can drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet with a TBSP or you can cut them with a cookie cutter like I did. If you are using a cookie cutter, form the dough into a rectangle and lightly it roll it out. You want a thick, soft dough.

Bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are light and fluffy and golden brown. Immediately after removing them from the oven, coat them with the butter garlic spread and serve hot.

Butter Garlic Spread

1/2 cup butter, melted

1-2 tsp minced garlic

1 tsp ranch seasoning or White Magic Seasoning

1 tsp parsley

Mix everything together and brush over the hot biscuits.

After coating my biscuits, I put them back in the oven again to keep warm until just before serving them, so they browned a little more, which gave them a little bit of tasty crust on the outside too.

They went very well with the chili. They were a perfect accompaniment. But they will also make tasty little mini sandwiches too. Larry is going out to Kansas for the weekend to visit his family and he is going to make little ham or steak sandwiches (depending on what is leftover after I finish making my quiche and broccoli salad for him to take along with him) with these to snack on during his travels.

Have a great day and make everyday great. Stay safe and stay well, especially during this heavy travel time. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. ‘Til next time.
