Herb 'n Garlic Cheese
Biscuits
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups soy-based bake mix
(Low Carb Chef's Bake Mix or Atkins' Bake Mix)
3 teaspoons baking powder
2 Tablespoons light olive oil
1/2 cup cream
1/4 cup water
1 1/2 teaspoons butter flavoring
4 ounces cheddar cheese, grated
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon thyme
1/8 teaspoon basil
1/8 teaspoon marjoram
1/4 teaspoon dried chopped parsley
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Sift Bake Mix together with baking powder, herbs,
salt, and garlic powder until evenly distributed. In separate bowl, mix oil,
water, butter extract and cream. Add to dry mixture a little at a time until
it resembles a cookie dough. Sprinkle grated
cheddar over dough and mix well (this is best done by pushing the cheddar
through the dough with your fingers till well mixed.)
Drop by tablespoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet,
to resembled small uneven mounds. Bake for 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
These are delectable warm with fresh butter and
are very reminiscient of those served at Red Lobster restaurants.
Can't find butter flavoring? Use 1 Tablespoon
melted butter and 1 Tablespoon light olive oil instead of all oil.
