Red Lobster Inspired Garlic Cheese Biscuits

Ingredients:

1 cup Milk
1/3 cup Mayonnaise
1 tablespoon sugar
2 cups Self-rising flour*
1/4 cup Kraft American Cheese
1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder
3 tablespoons Melted butter
Muffin paper liners

Instructions:

*You may use all-purpose (regular) flour, however biscuits will not rise much and have a denser texture; flavors should be about identical. **Can substitute 3 packets of Sweet & Low for the sugar.
Original recipe does not say, but I would think you will want to shred the cheese.
In a 1 1/2 qt mixing bowl combine the milk, mayo, sugar, and flour. Beat on high speed with electric mixer for almost a minute, until smooth and completely combined. Using a rubber bowl scraper, streak the dough with the cheese. Batter should NOT be thin enough to pour; if necessary, add only enough additional flour so batter will "drop" from spoon.
Drop batter into 10 paper-lined muffin tins, or a greater number of tiny muffin cups. (Muffins tend to triple in size when baked; fill lightly.) Melt butter; mix in garlic, and brush tops of dough. You may shake 1 tsp additional cheese on each muffin if you wish.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden. Cool in pan on rack for 30 minutes.
These definitely should be served freshly baked and hot.
