Categories : Breads, cheese, quickbreads
Servings : 4

5 oz Cheddar; Sharp, Grated 2 c Unbleached Flour; Sifted
1 tb Baking Powder 1 ts Salt
1/2 c Butter Or Shortening 1/2 c Milk
Butter; Softened Butter; Melted



Grease the bottoms of 12 muffin pan cups. Grate the cheese into a bowl, if
not already grated and set aside. Sift the flour, baking powder and salt
into a bowl. Cut in the shortening with a pastry blender or two knives,
until the mixture resembles coarse corn meal. Make a well in the center of
the mixture and add the milk all at once. Stir with a fork until the dough
forms a ball. Gently form the dough into a ball and put on a lightly
floured surface. Knead it lightly with the fingertips 10 or 15 times. Roll
the dough into a 12 X 10-inch rectangle about 1/4-inch thick. Cut into 5
strips and spread with the softened butter. Sprinkle four strips with the
grated cheddar cheese and stack the four on top of one another and top with
the fifth strip. Cut into 12 equal pieces and place on end in the muffin
cups. Brush the tops of the rolls with the melted butter. Bake at 450
degrees F. for 10 to 15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown.
Serve hot with butter. Makes 1 dozen Cheddar Fans.
