Cheese Biscuits

The cheese biscuit recipe I used in this week's tea post was from Paula Deen. This is one of her signature items she serves at The Lady & Sons Restaurant. 

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

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Mix flour, baking powder, and sugar together using a fork; cut in shortening until it resembles cornmeal.  Add cheese. 
3. Stir in buttermilk all at one time until just blended.  Do not overstir.
4. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto a well-greased baking sheet.  Bake for 12 to 15 minutes.  

Yields: 8 large biscuits

 Enjoy!
