20 10 30

Ingredients

1-1/4 cups self-rising flour
3/4 cup cake flour
1 tablespoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup cold butter
1-1/4 cups heavy whipping cream
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
OIL MIXTURE:
1/3 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in cream and cheese just until moistened.
Drop dough by 1/8 cupfuls 2 in. apart onto a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. In a small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Brush half of oil mixture over biscuits.
Bake at 450° for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Brush with remaining oil mixture. Serve warm. Yield: 1-1/2 dozen.

Editor's Note: As a substitute for each cup of self-rising flour, place 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a measuring cup. Add all-purpose flour to measure 1 cup.
