The Lady's Cheese Biscuits & Garlic Butter - Paula Deen image

I live in Savannah, Georgia, and have encountered these biscuits straight from The Lady & Sons restaraunt. They're incredible! At my former workplace, we had the Lady & Sons cater lunches for training seminars and these were always the first to disappear. This is from a recipe that ran in the Savannah Morning News a few years ago. The sharp cheddar is my preference, although the original recipe simply states "cheddar". If making the jumbo, ice-cream scoop biscuits, this will make about four.

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups self-rising flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon sugar

8 tablespoons butter, melted (I use salted)
2 garlic cloves, crushed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Farenheit.
  • Mix flour, baking powder, and sugar together using fork.
  • Mix in shortening with fork or pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal.
  • Stir in cheese.
  • Lightly stir in buttermilk until just blended; do not overmix.
  • Drop by tablespoonfuls (The Lady actually uses an ice cream scoop, according to the recipe) onto a well-greased baking sheet.
  • Bake 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Brush with butter or garlic butter.
  • ---GarlicButter Instructions--- Combine butter and garlic in small saucepan over medium heat.
  • Cook until butter absorbs garlic flavor, but don't allow the garlic to color.
  • Remove from heat, and discard garlic.
  • Can be stored, covered, in the refrigerator for about two weeks.
