Cheesy garlic biscuits.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees, and liberally spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray.
Mix:
2 cups white flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. seasoned salt
Cut in 6 Tbsp of shortening or butter (I advise shortening), until the shortening is in tiny pieces.
Add 1+ Tbsp. garlic powder (how much do you want? Add that much. At a guess i used 1.5 Tbsp; but I didn't measure. i just used it all).
Dice or shred 4 thick deli slices mild cheddar cheese into tiny tiny pieces. Add the cheese to the biscuit mix and stir. IF you want a cheesy crust on top of the biscuits, only mix in about 3/4ths the cheese, hold the rest back to top with at the end.
Gradually, add 3/4ths cup milk or water (I advise milk, but I only had water today) to the mixture, stirring it all in slowly until the dough is one big sticky ball. Make sure to lift the edges as you stir and pour a little water onto the underside, or tehre will be a bunch of loose dry stuff there.
Separate the resulting ball of stick dough into about a dozen smaller balls of sticky dough, and place them on the cookie sheet. be sure to leave space between them, and flatten their tops just a little by pressing down. (now would be the time to add the extra cheese if you left iot out earlier, or brush the biscuits with shortening or butter, or maybe add some fresh diced garlic to the top, or all three. I did none of the three. Oh well.)
Bake for 12-15 minutes (I advise the full 15).
Serve hot with warm butter to spread on them.
