Wow! I thought I had a great recipe for buscuits...but mine doesn't compare! Thanks for sharing the recipe to these scrumptious morsels. My kids couldn't get enough of them and my DH was very impressed! Note that I changed out the shortening for butter as I'm not a fan of shortening. As well the bake time seemed a bit off, perhaps its my oven but they seemed to have need a bit more time perhaps closer to 15 minutes.

I made these as a side to go with our pasta dinner tonight. The biscuit itself was great. They were very light and fluffy, not heavy at all like some other biscuits we've tried. However, my family didn't think the garlic or cheese flavors were very noticeable. For that reason, they only rated the recipe as written, 3 stars. Next time I will increase both the garlic and cheese and see how it effects their rating.

These turned out pretty good. I have never bought a box of Bisquick and never plan to. I want to make them again, when I do I think I'll substitute real butter for the shortening as I think it was missing the buttery flavor. Likewise, I'll double the garlic as my DH stated he couldn't taste it at all and missed it. The prep, texture and baking times were right on, I ended up with 9 medium sized biscuits, just enough to go with our Chicken Pot Pie tonight for dinner. Thanks for sharing.
