Source of Recipe


From "The Lady & Sons Savannah Country Cookbook" by Paula Deen






List of Ingredients



• 2 cups self-rising flour
  
• 1 tsp baking powder
  
• 1 tsp sugar
  
• 1/3 cup Crisco shortening
  
• 3/4 cup grated Cheddar cheese
  
• 1 cup buttermilk
  






Instructions



1. Preheat oven to 350° F.
   
   
2. Mix flour, baking powder and sugar together using a fork; cut in shortening until it resembles cornmeal. Add cheese. Stir in buttermilk, all at one time, just until blended. Do not overstir.
   
   
3. Drop by tablespoonfuls (an ice cream scoop can be used to give biscuits a nicer shape) onto a well-greased baking sheet. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes.
   
   Yields 8 large biscuits.
