Blackberry Cheddar Biscuits

This biscuits are so good they are almost like a scone, but much easier to make.  Try these, they are sure to become a family favorite.  Don't like blackberries?  Add another fruit and they are just as good.

Blackberry Cheddar Biscuits

3 cups baking mix (Jiffy or Bisquick)
1 cup shredded mild cheddar or marbled cheddar cheese
2 Tbsp. cold, real butter + 2 Tbsp. melted butter
3/4 cup evaporated milk (more or less)
1 Tbsp. sugar + 1 tsp. sugar for top
1/2 cup chopped blackberries

Place baking mix into a deep bowl.  Cut the butter in using a knife.  Butter needs to be cold.  Mixture will become slightly crumbly.  Start adding evaporated milk until the mixture is slightly sticky.  Stir in 1 Tbsp. sugar.  Stir in the 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.  Coarsely chop the blackberries and gently fold into the biscuit mix.

Prepare a cookie sheet, sprayed with cooking spray.  Cut the biscuits using a biscuit cutter or bottom of a glass.  *Hint:  spray the cutter or glass with cooking spray so that it releases the dough without sticking.

Place biscuits on a cookie sheet at least 1/2" apart.  Brush tops with melted butter and bake at 400 degrees for about 15 to 18 minutes or until tops begin to brown.  Remove from the oven and immediately, lightly sprinkle with the remaining 1 tsp. sugar.

Enjoy!
