These are the best biscuits I have ever tasted. I have made them so many times since I first tried this recipe, that the kids now say, "You're making those again?" I can't help myself. They are so easy, go good with so many things, and I crave them on a regular basis. I substitute 1/2 cup of the white flour for 1/2 cup of wheat flour to make them a little healthier. I can get 12 biscuits out of this recipe. They are also great the next day for breakfast. I heat for 10-15 seconds in the microwave, and place a fried egg in the middle...delicious!
Biscuits:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons shortening
3 tablespoons butter, cold
1 cup buttermilk
1 1/4 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
Buttery Topping:
3 tablespoons melted butter
1/4 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
pinch of salt
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, garlic powder and salt. Cut in shortening and butter until coarse crumbs are formed. Lightly mix in grated cheese. Mix in buttermilk just until moist (dry spots here and there are ok - the biscuits will be tough if they are overmixed). Drop the biscuits onto a greased or lined baking sheet. Bake for 12-14 minutes, until browned and golden. While the biscuits are baking, in a small bowl combine butter, parsley, garlic powder and salt. Right when the biscuits come out of the oven, brush the butter/herb mixture over the biscuits evenly. Serve immediately.
