Red Lobster Inspired Garlic Cheese Biscuits


1 C Milk
1/3 C Mayonnaise
1 Tb Sugar**
2 C Self-rising flour*
1/4 C Kraft American Cheese** (shredded)
1/2 T 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.

In a 1 1/2 qt mixing bowl combine 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.
