List of Ingredients




2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/3 cup chilled vegetable shortening
3/4 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
1/4 cup Parmesan or Romano cheese, grated
1 cup fresh chives, snipped, or 1/2 cup dried chives
Milk


Recipe



Preheat oven to 450°. Sift together flour, salt, baking powder, and baking
soda. Cut in the chilled shortening with a pastry blender or fork until
mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. Make a well in the center and pour in
buttermilk, cheeses, and chives. Blend well until mixture holds together.
Knead on lightly floured board 5 or 6 times. Do not overwork. Pat dough to
1/2-inch thickness and cut with floured biscuit cutter. Place on ungreased
pan and brush tops with milk. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until browned. Makes
1-1/2 dozen.
