My family made these great biscuits at night when the weather cooled down for baking.

Easy Cheesy Biscuits

3 cups all-purpose flour

3 teaspoons baking powder

1 tablespoon sugar

1 teaspoon salt

3/4 teaspoon cream of tartar

1/2 cup cold butter

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1 garlic clove, minced

1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

1-1/4 cups 2% milk

Preheat oven to 450°. In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and cream of tartar. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in cheese, garlic and pepper flakes. Add milk; stir just until moistened.

Drop dough by heaping 1/4 cupfuls 2 in. apart onto a greased baking sheet. Bake 18-20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
