Read Lobster Inspired Garlic Cheese Biscuits

Ingredients & Directions 1 c Milk 1/3 c Mayonnaise 1 tb Sugar** 2 c Self-rising flour* 1/4 c Kraft American Cheese** 1/2 tb Garlic POWDER; not salt 3 tb Melted butter or margarine Muffin paper liners *You may use all-purpose (regular) flour, however biscuits will not rise much and have a denser texture; flavors should be about identical. **Can substitute 3 packets of Sweet & Low for the sugar. Use the cheese in the gold cardboard container. Original recipe does not say, but I would think you will want to shred it. In a 1 1/2 qt mixing bowl combine the milk, mayo, sugar, and flour. Beat on high speed with electric mixer for almost a minute, until smooth and completely combined. Using a rubber bowl scraper, streak the dough with the cheese. Batter should NOT be thin enough to pour; if necessary, add only enough additional flour so batter will “drop” from spoon. Drop batter into 10 paper-lined muffin tins, or a greater number of tiny muffin cups. (Muffins tend to triple in size when baked; fill lightly.) Melt butter; mix in garlic, and brush tops of dough. You may shake 1 tsp additional cheese on each muffin if you wish. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden. Cool in pan on rack for 30 minutes. These definitely should be served freshly baked and hot. Yields 10 Servings
