Ingredients
For the
Cooking spray
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons
2 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons vegetable shortening, at room temperature
4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
6 ounces grated yellow cheddar cheese (about 1 1/4 cups)
3/4 cup whole milk
For the garlic butter:
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 clove garlic, smashed
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
Directions:
Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees. Lightly mist a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
Make the biscuits:
Pulse the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a food processor.
Add the shortening and pulse until combined.
Add the butter; pulse 4 or 5 times, or until the butter is in pea-size pieces.
Add the cheese and pulse 2 or 3 times.
Pour in the milk and pulse just until the mixture is moistened and forms a shaggy dough.
Turn out onto a clean surface and gently knead until the dough comes together. Do not overwork the dough or the biscuits will be tough.
Using a biscuit cutting or a drinking glass, cut the biscuits into rounds and place on baking sheet 2 inches apart, and bake until golden, 15 to 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the garlic butter:
Melt the butter with the garlic in a small saucepan over medium heat; cook for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the parsley.
Brush the biscuits with the garlic butter when they come out of the oven. Serve warm. Yum!
