Secret Recipe Club: Cheese and Garlic Drop Biscuits

After a hiatus for the holidays, it is once again time for the Secret Recipe Club. This month I received the blog, Beautiful Disasters. As always, I loved going through the blog and reading all the amazing recipes. The recipe for Cheese and Garlic Drop Biscuits really spoke to me.  I have enjoyed biscuit making since I was a kid, though then it was drop biscuits from a package of Bisquick.  These biscuits are so easy because you don't have to fuss with rolling them out, flouring them and cutting them.  Way easy! I did omit the parsley from the recipe because I didn't want to deal with whining from C about green stuff in the biscuits. He didn't mind the red pepper flakes though, so that it at least something...

Cheese and Garlic Drop Biscuits
makes about 8 biscuits

1 ½ cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon dried thyme
¼ cup (1/2 stick) cold, grated butter (or you can just chop into very small pieces)
1/3 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2/3 cup milk
2 tablespoons melted butter

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder. Add grated butter, cheese, thyme, parsley, red pepper flakes and mix until fine crumb. Gradually add in milk until well combined, and the dough holds together. Drop dough by about the tablespoonful onto an ungreased cookie sheet and bake in preheated oven for 10-15 minutes.
Lightly brush the biscuits with melted butter and baked for another 5 minutes.
