Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 ¾ Cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 Tbsp. Plus 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 ½ Tsp. Sugar
  • ¼ Tsp. Salt
  • 3 Tbsp. Vegetable shortening, at room temperature
  • 4 Tbsp. Cold unsalted butter, cut into ½-inch pieces
  • 1 Cup Sharp cheddar cheese, grated
  • ¾ Cup Whole milk
  • Cooking Spray

FOR THE GARLIC BUTTER

  • 3 Tbsp. Salted butter
  • 2 Clove garlic, smashed and finely chopped
  • 1 Teaspoon Chopped fresh chives

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the over to 425 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and put to the side.
  • Add the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a food processor and pulse until just mixed. Add the vegetable shortening and pulse again until combined. Then add the butter and pulse until the mixture is like little peas.
  • Add the cheese and pulse again. Then add the milk and pulse until the mixture is all combined and it starts to come together as a loose dough. Dump the mixture on to the kitchen counter and knead until the dough comes together (about 1-2 minutes). Don’t overwork the dough or the biscuits get tough.
  • Drop the dough using a quarter cup scoop onto the sprayed baking sheet. Leave about two inches in between each biscuit. Bake until golden brown (about 15 – 20 minutes).
  • In a small dish, add the butter and garlic and put in the microwave for 30 – 60 seconds until the butter is melted and hot. Stir in the chives.
  • Brush the cooked biscuits with the garlic butter and enjoy!
