    Chive and Cheddar Biscuits

    List of Ingredients





    2 cups all-purpose flour
    1 tablespoon baking powder
    1 teaspoon salt
    1/4 cup vegetable shortening
    1 cup grated cheddar or sharp cheddar cheese
    1/2 cup chopped fresh chives
    1 cup milk
    3 tablespoons butter, melted

    Recipe



    Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and salt.

    With a pastry cutter, cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the cheese and chives. Add the milk and stir just until the mixture forms a soft dough that pulls from the sides of the bowl.

    Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface; knead to mix thoroughly.

    Roll dough into a cylinder. Cut in 1-inch slices and place on a cookie sheet. Brush with melted butter. Bake 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
    Makes 8-10 biscuits.
