Cheese Biscuits

Ingredients

• 2 cups self-rising flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup shortening
• 3/4 cup grated sharp Cheddar
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1/4 stick butter, melted

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt together using a fork; cut in shortening until it resembles cornmeal. Add cheese. Stir in buttermilk all at 1 time just until blended. Do not over stir. Drop by tablespoonfuls, or use an ice cream scoop, onto a well greased baking sheet. Brush dough with melted butter. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes.
