Cheddar Cheese Biscuits
2 cups sifted flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup shortening
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
2/3 cup milk
Oven: 450 degrees
Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a mixing bowl. Cut in the shortening until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in the grated cheese and milk, mixing well.
Turn out dough on a floured board and knead briefly, about a minute or two. Roll or pat dough into a thickness of about 3/4-inch. Shape biscuits with a 2-inch biscuit cutter or glass dipped in flour.
Place on an ungreased baking sheet and bake until browned, about twelve minutes. Serve hot. Leftover biscuits can be reheated in the top of a covered double boiler or wrapped in foil in the oven. Makes 12 biscuits.
