Top Secrets Recipes Version Of : Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits  

2 1/2 cups Bisquick baking mix                            3/4 cup cold whole milk

4 tablespoons cold butter (1/2 stick)                    1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1 heaping cup grated Cheddar cheese

BRUSH ON TOP

2 tablespoons butter, melted                                 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley flakes

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder                                   pinch salt

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Combine Bisquick with cold butter in a medium bowl using a pastry cutter or a large fork. You don't want to mix too thoroughly. There should be small chunks of butter in there that are about the size of peas. Add Cheddar cheese, milk, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic. Mix by hand until combined, but don't over mix.

Drop approximately 1/4 cup portions of the dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet using an ice cream scoop. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes or until the tops of the biscuits begin to turn light brown.

When you take the biscuits out of the oven, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a small bowl in your microwave. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and the dried parsley flakes. Use a brush to spread the garlic butter over the tops of all the biscuits. Use up all of the butter.

I might be able to do these, but for the life of me I can not do the rolled out biscuits.  My grandmother made drop biscuits and her's were a little sweet.  My mama made 'cat head' biscuits every day when we were children.  She had a large wooden bowl, sifted it full of flour, then put in a half hand full of Crisco, added some milk and mixed it up in the center of the bowl.  After she rolled the biscuits in her hand, the bowl still had a lot of flour in it, she would put the bowl in a plastic box and the next day add more flour.  I have never fiqured out how she did it, the biscuits were big and fluffy.  My few attenpts at biscuits were awful, if one had dropped on my toe, it would have broken it, the toe I mean, nothing could have cracked those biscuit rocks.  So I have given up on biscuits which may have been a good thing, because I love them full of butter and homemade jelly.

So far, my Grandma, Bee's Grandma and now your Grandma all used their hand to measure flour! These are easy. I have another old recipe for plain biscuits, I'll look for it,even eaiser!! I love butter and jelly on biscuits too, my brothers used to say, "Gosh, have a little biscuit with your butter.

Oh……..MY………….   These sound just W-O-N-D-E-R-F-U-L!!!!!

With just about anything.

Can you imagine these with a bowl of chili, or vegetable soup??

Now I'm gettin hungrier, Pete! I'm thinking of making this recipe with Suzanne's Quick mix I made up instead of the Bisquick mix. I 'd have everything I need to make them then, except I  would need to pick up parsely flakes, and of course extra BUTTER!! Ha, ha!

Has anyone tried this using Suzanne's Quick Mix?  Bet it would work just fine…

I'm gonna try it, probably would make this recipe even better!
