Eat Like You Want To - 1

Galveston Bay Biscuits (A Cheap Knockoff of Red Lobster's Cheddar Bay Biscuits)

* Bisquick
* Milk
* 1 Cup of Shredded Cheddar Cheese
* 3 Tablespoons of Butter
* 1/2 Tablespoon of Garlic Powder

Follow the Bisquick instructions for their basic biscuit recipe, except add in the cup of cheddar cheese into the mix right after adding the milk. Be sure to stir it up well enough so that the cheese really blends into the mixture.

Before putting the biscuits onto a pan, don't be a lazy ass and forget to both grease the pan AND dust the pan with a very thin layer of either flour or Bisquick mix. The secret to not scorching the bottoms of every blessed biscuit is to grease and lightly flour the pan BEFORE putting the biscuits on it. Your scrubbing elbows and dinner guests thank you in advance for your thoughtfulness.

Also, don't be even more of a lazy jackaninny by just letting the mix form this nasty gloop as you thwack it carelessly onto the pan. Take a goodly spoonful of mix, roll it gently into a ball and place it gingerly onto the pan. Presentation is the stuff that builds empires.

Bake the biscuits according to the Bisquick biscuit directions. While those are baking, melt the butter and gently stir in the garlic powder. You can feel free to be a little lazy here and melt the butter in the microwave. No one will ever know unless you tell them.

Once the biscuits are done, take a baking brush (or a basting brush, rather) and gently coat the tops of each biscuit with a layer of garlic butter. For chrissakes, DO NOT just pour the butter on willy nilly. You will likely soak the first few biscuits and will leave the remaining batch high and dry.

This of course will lead to social disorder and finally outright anarchy, so take a moment to prevent this by brushing on the butter.

Let the finished biscuits sit for a minute before serving to give the butter a chance to settle down a bit. Place the biscuits onto your plate or in a roll basket, don't just tear into them like some uncultured barbarian. Take a moment to savour the aroma of your creation. Then, and only then, may you stuff your faces full of deliciousness.

Garlic and cheese... Can't wait to try the recipe.

My dad could make the most awesome biscuits 'cuz he had patience. After the biscuits sat for a spell, he would then slice and butter the insides. No worries about cholesterol.

Off to stuff my face!!

Mmmmmmm.... foooood.

Had I any Bisquick, and were I not lazy, I would make some with my dinner tonight! But I am sure I'll find something lower-maintenance to accompany my buffalo burger.
