Cheddar Bay Biscuits

So Lacey is taking Home Ec class at the Junior High and they made these today and she said they were so yummy so we made some tonight when I got home from work and they are sooo yummy, worthy to put on my favorite recipes!

Cheddar Bay Biscuits
(we halved the recipe and it made 10 biscuits since there were only 2 of us)
This recipe makes 20 biscuits:

3 1/2 cups flour
2 Tblsp sugar
2 Tblsp baking powder
1 T garlic powder
pinch of salt
3/4 cup butter
3 cups cheese
1 cup milk

Topping:
1/4 cup plus 2 Tblsp butter
2 Tblsp parsley
1 t garlic powder

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
line a cookie sheet with foil and spray it (I just used our sil pat which works wonders for fluffy biscuits)
In mixing bowl combine all dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, salt)
Also combine your cheese.
Cut your butter into thick chunks, add the thick chunks to the dry ingredient mixture.  Use a pastry blender to cut in the butter into your dry ingredients (you will end up with pea size crumbs)  (I actually softened my butter for about 11 sec in microwave and then I just use my hands to mix it into pea size crumbs)
Once the butter is cut in, add your milk.  With a fork slowly stir the ingredients until the flour is moistened.  Once you have a dough that can form biscuit forms, you are done.
Scoop out the biscuit forms and place on greased pan.  It won't look like a round ball, rather it will be a messy round form of dough.
Place in oven and cook for 10 to 12 min
While in oven cooking, melt the butter for the Topping in the microwave .  Add garlic to this melted butter.  When biscuits are done, pour this mixture over the top of each biscuit and then sprinkle with parsley on top
Enjoy!

these really where very yummy!  especially right out of the oven and warm and the cheese all gooey!  yum yum yum!
