Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/3 cup butter, cold, cut into chunks
2 2 tablespoons odorless vegetable oil or 2 tablespoons any flavorless odorless vegetable oil
1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese or 6 -7 ounces sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 - 2/3 cup milk
For brushing on top
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley flakes or 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped

Preparation

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and garlic powder.
Add the cubed butter. Using a pastry cutter or a fork, cut butter into flour until it is coarse, pea-sized.
Add oil, grated cheddar cheese and the milk. Stir till well combined and holds together.
Make sure to keep adding milk a bit at a time, just until the dough is moistened and you can no longer see any raw flour.
Drop approximately 1/4 cup portions of the dough onto an un-greased cookie sheet or a using an ice cream scoop or large spoon.
Bake for 15-17 minutes in a preheated oven at 400 degrees.
While biscuits are baking, melt 3 tablespoons butter is a small bowl with 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and the parsley.
When biscuits come out of the oven, use a brush to spread this garlic butter over the tops of all the biscuits. Do this a few times - it's fun to watch all the butter getting absorbed into the biscuit! Use up all of the butter. Serve warm.
