Garlic Cheese Mini Biscuits – Red Lobster Knock-off

Have I mentioned how addicted I am to Pinterest? Feel free to leave your Pinterest link in a comment so I can follow you-I’m twoofakind on there. Its opened my eyes to many new recipes including my family’s new favorite side – Garlic Cheese Mini Puffs. In the post she gives the Red Lobster version and then the recipe for mini biscuits. I’m personally a fan of miniature versions, so I went with that.

Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt (see recipe tips) 1/2 tablespoon garlic salt (see recipe tips)
1/4 cup cold butter, cubed
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
1/2 cup milk

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease mini muffin tin. In large bowl, mix all dry ingredients to combine. Cut cold butter into flour mixture until coarse. Stir in grated cheese and all milk. Mix until all ingredients are moist and flour is absorbed. Using small cookie scoop, drop dough into prepared muffin tin. You should get close to 20 mini cheese puffs. Bake 8-10 minutes or until sides are browned and tops are starting to brown. Cool 5 minutes and remove from tins. Serve warm.

Recipe TIPS:

*You can use garlic powder in place of the garlic salt, however, you will want to increase the salt to 1-1 1/2 teaspoons(I’d advice you to use no more than 1 teaspoon).

These things are seriously awesome and so incredibly easy to make. I’ve made them several nights in the past few weeks.
