Big Mama’s Biscuits Turned Up! Herb Cheese Biscuits

1. Preheat oven to 450 F.
2. Add self-rising flour, garlic salt, and granulated sugar to a medium sized bowl and whisk together to combine.
3. Grate frozen shortening with a cheese grater into a measuring cup then add it into the flour mixture. Add two tablespoons of broken up herb goat cheese into the flour mixture (you can easily break the cheese apart with your hands). Begin cutting the shortening and goat cheese into the flour using a pastry cutter.
4. Sprinkle in shredded mixed cheeses into the bowl and combine with the biscuit mixture.
5. Add cold milk to the biscuit mixture and use a spoon to quickly fold it into the biscuit mixture. A wet dough should form.
6. Place the biscuit dough into the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
7. After 15 minutes, sprinkle flour on your working area or board and put the biscuit dough onto the board. Use your hands to flatten the dough and shape it to your preferred thickness of 1/2-3/4 inch.
8. Cut biscuit dough into circles using a round cutter or the back of a can.
9. Place cut biscuits onto a greased cast iron skillet and bake for about 10-12 minutes or until they have risen and browned.
10. Optional: To make biscuits a bit browner, turn the broiler on at the end of the bake time and broil until you get them as brown as you would like on the top.
11. Lastly, add garlic salt and parsley into the melted butter in a small bowl and mix together. Brush herb butter on the tops of biscuits after removing from the oven and serve warm.
