Herb & Garlic Cheddar Biscuits
Serves 4 to 6

2 cups (500 ml) all-purpose flour
4 tsp (20 ml) VE Baking Powder
2 Tbsp (30 ml) VE Herb & Garlic Dip Mix
½ tsp (2.5 ml) VE Herbed Garlic Sea Salt
¼ cup (60 ml) cold butter
2/3 cup (160 ml) milk
1 cup (250 ml) grated Cheddar cheese

1. Preheat oven to 450° F (230° C).

2. Mix together flour, VE Baking Powder, VE Herb & Garlic Dip Mix and VE Herb & Garlic Sea Salt.
3. Using a pastry blender combine butter with dry mixture until butter pieces are the size of small peas. Add milk and stir to fully incorporate before folding in grated Cheddar cheese.
4. Turn dough out onto a clean floured surface and gently knead 6 - 8 times. Pat dough out to a thickness of about ½" (1 cm) and cut to desired shape. Place biscuits onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for about 30 minutes, or until lightly browned.
