Ingredients:

• 4 cups all-purpose flour

• 2 tablespoons baking powder

• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

• 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning

• 1 teaspoon garlic parsley salt

• 1/2 cup Crisco (shortening)

• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

• 1 1/2 cups milk

• 1 tablespoon fresh minced garlic

• 1 1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese

• Additional melted butter for brushing

• Optional: extra garlic parsley salt for sprinkling

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, Old Bay seasoning, and garlic parsley salt.

3. Add in the Crisco and cold butter. Using a pastry cutter or two forks, cut the butter and Crisco into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

4. Stir in the fresh minced garlic and grated cheddar cheese.

5. Gradually pour in the milk, stirring just until the dough comes together.

6. Drop the dough using an ice cream scoop or spoon onto the prepared baking sheet, placing them about 2 inches apart.

7. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.

8. While the biscuits are still hot, brush them generously with melted butter and optionally sprinkle with a touch more garlic parsley salt.

9. Allow them to cool for about 10 minutes on the baking sheet before serving.

Notes:

• For an even fluffier texture, make sure your milk is cold and handle the dough as little as possible.

• The additional sprinkle of garlic parsley salt after brushing with butter intensifies the garlic flavor, but use according to taste.

• Store any leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
