1 T. double-acting baking powder
1/3 c. sharp Cheddar cheese
1 t. salt
1/4 c. shortening
3/4 c. milk

Directions:
About 35 minutes before serving: Preheat oven to 450º. In large bowl, with fork, mix flour, baking powder and salt. With pastry blender or 2 knives used scissor-fashion, cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs; add cheese and milk. With fork, quickly mix just until mixture forms soft dough that leaves side of bowl. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; knead 6 to 8 strokes to mix thoroughly. With floured rolling pin, lightly roll out dough, lifting rolling pin as you near edges to keep dough evenly thick. Roll dough 1/2 inch thick for high, fluffy biscuits, 1/4 inch for thin, crusty ones. With floured 2-inch biscuit cutter, cut biscuits, using straight, downward motion without twisting. With pancake turner, place biscuits on un-greased cookie sheet, 1 inch apart for crusty biscuits, nearly touching for soft-sided ones. Press dough trimmings together (don't knead); roll and cut as above until all dough is used. Bake 12-15 minutes until golden brown. Makes about 18 biscuits.
