Garlic Cheese Drop Biscuits

I like to make bread. I also like to eat it. One of my favorite things about eating out is tasting the bread served prior to the meal. Think of the Olive Garden breadsticks or the Macaroni Grill rosemary bread with oil and vinegar. Yum! These biscuits are supposed to taste like Red Lobster biscuits. I haven't been there in such a long time, I can't say whether there is a true likeness or not. But what I can say is that these biscuits are quick and easy to make and are the perfect fix when you need rolls or breadsticks with your meal but don't have time to make them.

Ingredients:

1 3/4 cup bread flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/8 teaspoon pepper

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

5 tablespoons cold butter

1 cup milk

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup butter, melted

1 clove garlic, minced

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, stir together flour, salt, baking powder, pepper and garlic powder. Cut in butter until mixture resembles course crumbs. Make a well in the center of flour mixture. Add the milk and cheese; stir just until combined. Drop batter by large spoonfuls onto an ungreased baking sheet.

Bake for about 18 minutes, until lightly browned. While biscuits are baking mix melted butter and minced garlic. Brush garlic butter over hot baked biscuits.
