Chive And Cheddar Biscuits

Recipe Ingredients

2 cups	125g / 4.4oz	All-purpose flour
1 tablespoon	15ml	Baking powder
1 teaspoon	5ml	Salt
1/4 cup	49g / 1.7oz	Vegetable shortening
1 cup	146g / 5.1oz	Grated cheddar or other sharp cheese
1/2 cup	73g / 2.6oz	Chopped fresh chives
1 cup	237ml	2% milk
3 tablespoons	45ml	Butter - (1/4 stick) - melted

Recipe Instructions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt with a fork. With a pastry cutter, cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the grated cheese and chives. Add the milk and stir just until the mixture forms a soft dough that pulls away from the side of the bowl. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead quickly to mix the dough thoroughly.

Roll dough into cylinder. Cut into 1-inch slices and place on cookie sheet. Brush with the melted butter. Bake until golden brown, about 12 to 15 minutes.

Makes 1 1/2 dozen biscuits.
