Best Cheese Biscuits

Ingredients

2 c. all-purpose flour
2 T. sugar
4 tsp baking powder
¾ tsp. salt
1 c. (4 ozs.) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
2 large garlic cloves (minced)
¾ c. milk
1/3 c. vegetable oil

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; add cheese and garlic cloves.  Stir in milk and oil just until moistened. *  Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Roll to ½ inch thickness, cut with a floured 2 ½ “ biscuit cutter. ** Place 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheet.  Bake at 425°for 15 minutes or until golden brown. *** Brush with garlic butter and serve warm.  Refrigerate leftovers.

*Note—I used Kitchen Aid mixer with flat beater to mix.  Stirred on 2 until bottom and sides cleaned about 2 minutes.  
**Note—I dropped by a tablespoon onto a cookie sheet rather than roll our and cut with biscuit cutter.  (Gives a rougher texture.)
.***I baked at 400° using the convection oven for 9 minutes.
I keep trying to duplicate Red Lobster®’s cheese biscuits.
