Bisquick Garlic Cheese Biscuits


Joshua fixed these to go with our Pollo con Piña the other night...they were delicious.



I think what really makes them great is using Homemade Bisquick :)






2 c. bisquick

¼ c. margarine or butter, melted


2/3 c. milk

¼ t. garlic powder


½ c. shredded cheddar cheese





· Heat oven to 450. Mix baking mix, milk and cheese until soft dough forms; beat 30 seconds.


· Drop dough by 10 to 12 spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet.


· Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. Mix melted oleo & garlic powder; brush over warm biscuits before removing from cookie sheet. Serve warm.





**I sometimes add a little garlic powder to the bisquick as I mix in the milk. These taste a lot like the biscuits at Red Lobster. They go great with spaghetti. Joshua’s always turn out better than mine!







Homemade Bisquick Mix


Makes 7 cups





3 cups white flour


3 cups whole wheat flour


3 Tbsp baking powder


1 Tbsp salt


1 cup shortening





1. Whisk flour together in a large bowl with baking powder and salt until well blended.


2. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender until mixture resembles fine crumbs.


3. Store mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 months.


4. Use whenever your recipe calls for BISQUICK.





**the original recipe that I found on the Internet had you sift the dry ingredients together three times…using a wire whisk is much easier and gives the same results. It also called for 6 cups of white flour, but we like doing half whole wheat and half white flour.
