Fall is here and it seemed fitting to have some stew, soup.. stoup for supper with some sort of biscuits. So I went on the hunt for a biscuit recipe. Granted being from the south biscuit should come pretty naturally.. well not for me. This would mark only my second attempt at biscuits. Now the first attempt (yes I am going there), wasn't to terrible. I looked through cook book after cook book for a recipe that only had the ingredients I had at the time. I found one but the one I found was more like a dinner cookie then a biscuit. but hey it worked.. even put some honey over the top.. mmm mmm!!
Now for the second attempt. Well I found a website.. via Pinterest that had SEVERAL different biscuit recipes. I scrolled through til I found one that sounded good. Garlic Cheese biscuits to go with Three meat Stoup! The stoup was ready to go.. biscuits mixed up following the exact recipe. (I know!! I didn't modify it!) preheated the oven to 450 degrees. Put the delicious smelling babies in the oven.. 12 minutes later this is what we got.. Drum roll please...
The Recipe:
Garlic Cheese Biscuits These little biscuits just melt in your mouth and go with just about any meal. Slathered with melted butter along with the garlic and cheese, they can’t be beat. 2 1/2 cups self-rising flour 1/4 cup vegetable shortening 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese 1 1/4 cups buttermilk (could use regular milk) 1 teaspoon sugar 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted Place flour in large bowl. Cut in shortening until crumbs are the size of peas. Add garlic and sugar. Stir in cheese and milk. You can do these as drop biscuits using a tablespoon of batter and dropping onto sprayed baking sheet or you can shape them with your hands and make a larger biscuit. I did some of both with this batch just to show you. Bake in preheated 450 degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes. Brush tops with the melted butter.

RETRY!!....
So after failing miserably at this first attempt, ok not miserably it was still edible, I decided to try it again maybe using another recipe. So, I did! This time I found one made by Paula Deen.. Mrs. Queen of the south her self. and this time it was right! No doughy in the middle any more!

This batter even looked more like a biscuit dough. Super simple too. Only thing I did do differently, I did not have buttermilk so I simply used whole milk. Still came out good but I am sure with buttermilk it would have been over the top amazing!

This time I took melted butter (like this recipe called for) and then sprinkled a salt, garlic and parsley on the top of these babies!
