These biscuits have become one of our signature items at The Lady & Sons Restaurant. Everyone really looks forward to us bringing them out, whether it be after they are seated or while they are waiting in line.
Ingredients
Biscuits
2 cups self-rising flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon sugar
⅓ cup Crisco shortening
¾ cup grated Cheddar cheese
1 cup buttermilk
Garlic Butter
8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter
2 cloves garlic, crushed and melted
Directions
Biscuits
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix flour, baking powder, and sugar together using a fork; cut in shortening until it resembles cornmeal. Add cheese. Stir in buttermilk all at one time just until blended. Do not over-stir. Drop by tablespoonfuls (I use an ice cream scoop to give biscuits a nicer shape) onto a well-greased baking sheet. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes.
Garlic Butter
Combine butter and garlic over medium heat until butter absorbs garlic; brush over tops of warm biscuits. Store leftover butter for next baking.
VARIATION: For breakfast, brush with plain butter or honey butter.
