Cheddar Garlic Biscuits

Ingredients: 

2 cups 

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 

1/3 cup cold unsalted butter (or dairy-free buttery spread - Earth Balance), cut into pieces 

2/3 cup buttermilk (or 1 1/2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar + enough rice milk to equal 2/3 cup) 

1 cup (2 oz.) shredded cheddar cheese, not packed at all (or Daiya or Follow Your Heart vegan cheese) 

2 extra-large eggs (or 2 large) 

For the Garlic-Butter Sauce: 

1/4 cup butter (or margarine or Earth Balance spread), melted ... 

Method:

Preheat oven to 425°F. 

Whisk together bisquick flour blend and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder; using a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in the butter until it resembles coarse crumbs. 

Add milk, cheese and eggs; stir gently until a soft dough forms. Drop heaping 1/3 cups of dough onto an ungreased baking sheet. 

Bake for 12 - 15 minutes. 

The tips and bottoms should be golden brown. If you desire the entire biscuit to be golden brown, baste with garlic butter sauce about the last 5 minutes of baking. 

In a small heat-proof cup, add butter and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder; melt in microwave for about 20 - 30 seconds. 

Alternatively, you may heat it in a sauce pan on the stove top. Baste warm biscuits with garlic butter sauce and serve warm.
