Cheddar Biscuits With Garlic Butter Glaze
- 1-3/4 cup All-purpose Flour
- 1-2/3 Tablespoon Baking Powder
- 2 teaspoons Sugar
- 1/4 teaspoons Salt
- 3 Tablespoons Vegetable Shortening At Room Temperature
- 4 Tablespoons Cold Butter Cut Into 1/2 Inch Pieces
- 6 ounces, weight Grated Cheddar (about 1 1/4 Cups)
- 3/4 cups Whole Milk
- FOR THE GARLIC BUTTER:
- 3 Tablespoons Melted Butter
- 1 clove Garlic, Smashed
- 1 teaspoon Chopped Fresh Parsley
- Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 425 F. Lightly mist a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Pulse the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a food processor. Add the shortening and pulse till combined. Add the 4 tablespoons of cold butter; pulse 4 or 5 times, or until the butter is in pea-sized 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 knead until the dough comes together. Do not overwork the dough or the biscuits will be tough.
- Drop the dough onto the baking sheet in 1/4 cup portions, 2 inches apart, and bake until golden, about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the garlic butter. Melt 3 tablespoons 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 and serve warm.
