Ingredient Substitution Guide

directions

Step 1

In large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt and garlic powder. Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut butter into flour mixture until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 2

Add oil, cheese and ½ cup milk to flour mixture. Mix just until a moist, not sticky, dough forms. If necessary, add up to 2 tbsp (30 mL) more milk, until flour mixture is incorporated.

Step 3

Using ice cream scoop or large spoon, scoop dough onto ungreased baking sheet. Bake in 400°F (200ºC) oven for 15 to 17 minutes or until golden. Remove to cooling rack.

Step 4

In small bowl, combine melted butter, garlic powder and parsley. Brush garlic butter topping over biscuits and serve while still warm.
