Gluten Free Garlic Cheese Biscuits

As I have mentioned in a previous blog, I really love a recipe that gives me a head start by using a boxed mix.  Thanks to Bisquick Gluten Free Mix, these Gluten Free Garlic Cheese Biscuits are a snap to make...and so, so good!  I can't believe how tender they are inside, with a bit of a crisp on the outside with a delicious garlic butter brushed over the tops!  Yummy, yum yum.

Gluten Free Garlic Cheese Biscuits

In the future I will be posting some gluten free biscuit and roll recipes you can do from scratch, but thought these were nice to whip up quickly in the summer heat.  I don't know about you, but I love me some good ole' biscuits with a nice bowl of soup, pasta or meat dish.  I am so glad that although I am gluten intolerant, I can still enjoy these kind of goodies!

  Let me tell you, if you are a biscuit lover too, you will not be disappointed in these Gluten Free Garlic Cheese Biscuits.  I have found  Bisquick Gluten Free Mix  at almost every grocery store.  It is a bit pricey, but I have a few recipes I use the mix for (which will also be posted in the future), and it is definitely worth the price to me.

So, here's to some tender, tasty gluten free biscuits!  Now get to baking!

2 cups Bisquick Gluten Free mix
1/3 cup shortening
2/3 cup milk
1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese

Garlic Butter:

1/2 stick butter, melted
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. salt (if using unsalted butter)
1/8 tsp. dried parsley flakes

Heat oven to 400 degrees F.  Cut shortening into mix, until particles are size of small peas.  Stir in remaining ingredients until soft dough forms.  Drop by spoonfuls and hand shape into biscuits by slightly flattening top and rounding sides, if desired, onto ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake 13-16 minutes or until golden brown.

While biscuits are baking, make the garlic butter.  In a small bowl melt the butter in the microwave, then add the garlic powder, salt and parsley flakes to the melted butter.  Mix well.  As soon as the biscuits are out of the oven, brush them with the garlic butter with a pastry brush and serve!
