Breakfast Biscuits

Ingredients:

2 cups flour
1 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter
3/4 milk

Directions:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Sift (or mix, in my case... Sifting on a saturday morning?!) the flour, sugar, bp and salt. Cut the butter in with a pastry cutter or two knives until the butter is about the size of peas.

Mix in the milk until barely combined. Turn out onto a floured countertop, and knead about 10 times, until everything is smoothly combined. Roll or press the dough out to 1/2 an inch thick (or thereabouts). Cut with a floured round cutter of some sort... I use a glass. The number you get depends on the size...

Bake for 10-12 minutes on an UNGREASED cookie sheet until puffy and golden brown.

For me, the trick is to work them as LITTLE as possible.

Just Like Red Lobster Biscuits!!!

Everyone loves Red Lobster, especially the biscuits that come by the basket full. This is the recipe for sure; based on Bisquick.

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.

Spray one cookie sheet with non-stick spray

Garlic Butter Biscuits

2 ½ C Bisquick

4 T cold butter

1 C shredded cheddar cheese

¾ C milk

Mix the Bisquick and butter in your food processor. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix by hand until combined, but don't over mix.

Drop by ¼ cup portions of the dough onto the lightly greased using an ice cream scoop.

Bake for 15 to 17 minutes in preheated oven until the tops of the biscuits begin to turn light brown.

While the biscuits are baking, melt 3T butter is a small bowl in the microwave. Stir in ½ t garlic powder and ¼ T dried parsley flakes.

Use a brush to spread the garlic butter over the tops of all the biscuits. Sprinkle a little kosher salt on the freshly coated biscuits.

Makes one dozen.

Best consumed right out of the oven.
