CHEDDAR AND HERB SCONES
INGREDIENTS
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon of baking powder
1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon of salt
2 tablespoons of fat
3 tablespoons of cold butter
1 cup of buttermilk
1 1/4 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
GUIDELINES
Heat the oven to 425 degrees. In a medium-sized bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt. Blend in shortening and butter until rough crumbs appear. Gently incorporate shredded cheese. Blend in buttermilk just until the mixture is damp (some dry areas are acceptable – overmixing will make the biscuits tough).
Place the biscuits onto a baking sheet that is either greased or lined. Cook for 12-14 minutes, until they are golden and browned.
As the biscuits bake, mix three tablespoons of melted butter, 1/4 teaspoon of dried parsley flakes, 3/4 teaspoon of garlic powder, and a dash of salt in a small bowl. As soon as the biscuits exit the oven, evenly apply the butter/herb blend over the biscuits. Serve right away. Chill. Savor it!
