Herbed Cheese Biscuits




Source of Recipe


Source: Crisco®


List of Ingredients




2 cups sifted all purpose flour

3 teaspoons double acting baking powder

2 teaspoons dill

1 teaspoon salt

1/3 cup Crisco All Vegetable Shortening or 1/3 Crisco Stick

1/2 cup sharp shredded Cheddar or Swiss Cheese

3/4 cup milk



Recipe



Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.


In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, dill, and salt. With a pastry blender, two knives, or a fork cut in Crisco All Vegetable Shortening until mixture looks like coarse meal. Stir in shredded cheese. Add milk and stir just enough to hold dough together.


Place on a lightly floured surface and knead lightly; roll 3/4 inch thick. Cut with floured biscuit cutter without turning the biscuit cutter (push straight down) and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet.


Bake at 425 degrees F for 12 to 15 minutes, or until as brown as desired.


Recipe Variation: Cinnamon Biscuits


Follow directions for cheese biscuit, omitting cheese and dill, reduce the milk to 1/2 cup, and sprinkle with a mixture of sugar and cinnamon.


Bake at 425 degrees F for 6 to 9 minutes, until brown as desired.
