Garlic Cheddar Drop Biscuits

I love the biscuits from Red Lobster, although honestly I never eat at the restaurant :). This recipe just jumped out at me and was perfect with beef stew.

Ingredients
8.5 oz (about 2 cups) all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
¾ cup cold milk

Butter topping:
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
½ teaspoon garlic powder
⅛ teaspoon salt

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
2. In a medium mixing bowl mix together flour, baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon of garlic powder until well combined.
3. Using a fork or pastry cutter, cut butter into flour mixture until mixture is crumbly. Mix in cheese. Mix in cold milk just until combined (do not overmix).
4. Drop biscuits (about 3 tablespoons of dough per biscuit) onto a nonstick baking sheet or a baking sheet lined with silpats or parchment paper.
5. Mix together 3 tablespoons melted butter, ½ teaspoon garlic, and ⅛ teaspoon salt in small bowl then brush lightly on top of each roll reserving rest of butter mixture for later.
6. Bake biscuits at 425 degrees F for about 1015 minutes or until browned on bottom. Remove from oven and while still hot, brush more melted butter mixture on top.
7. Makes 12 biscuits

Notes SNAPPY TIPS: These biscuits are best served warm right out of the oven, but you can reheat them later if you need to. Sprinkle a little dried parsley on top of rolls for a little color. SNAPPY SUBSTITUTIONS: You can substitute any kind of shredded cheese for the cheddar cheese, although a sharp tasting cheese is best. You can also substitute some or all shortening in the biscuits for the butter.
