List of Ingredients





Makes about 20 biscuits
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons shortening
½ cup grated sharp Cheddar cheese
2/3 cup milk

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a mixing bowl and mix well. cut in the shortening with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Mix in the cheese. Stir in almost all the milk. If the dough does not seem pliable, add enough milk to make a soft, puffy dough that is easy to roll out. (Too much milk makes dough sticky, not enough makes the biscuits dry.)
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead lightly. Roll the dough or pat it out to about 1/4 inch thickness. Cut out the biscuits with a sharp biscuit cutter. Place them close together in an ungreased cake pan if you like softer biscuits; or, for crusty biscuits, place them on an ungreased baking sheet about an inch apart.
Bake until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes.
