Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:

- Prepare the Biscuit Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, garlic powder, and salt.

- Assemble the Biscuits:
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the biscuit dough to about 1/2-inch thickness.
- Use a round biscuit cutter (about 2-3 inches in diameter) to cut out circles of dough.
- Place a small spoonful of the Cheddar Bay filling in the center of half of the dough circles.
- Top each filled circle with another dough circle, pressing the edges together to seal.
- Bake the Biscuits:
- Place the stuffed biscuits on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.
- Serve:
- Serve warm, and enjoy the cheesy, garlicky goodness!
