Wonderful Garlic Cheese Biscuits

• 1 cup milk
• 1/3 cup mayonnaise
• 1 T cane juice crystals or sugar
• 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour (may need a bit more)
• 1 T baking powder
• 1 t salt
• 1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese
• 1/2 t garlic powder or chopped garlic
• 3 T melted butter

Using a mixer combine milk, mayo, cane juice crystal's, flour, baking powder and salt. Mix until everything is smooth and completely combined. Add your cheese and using a spatula blend it in until it streaks through the batter. The batter should be something that will drop from your spoon and it should not be pour-able. If it does not drop from your spoon add a little more flour until it does.

Using a muffin pan, divide the batter evenly into the muffin cups that have been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. In a small bowl mix melted butter and garlic and spoon this over the tops of the biscuits.

Bake at 375 for 15 to 20 minutes or until the muffins are a nice golden brown. Cool on a rack for a few minutes. These are best if they are served hot.
