Quick and Easy Cheese Biscuits

[Sylvia]

In the UK these Biscuits are known as scones. These measures can be doubled up successfully. They freeze well and will keep for 1 month.

Quick and Easy Cheese Biscuits
Preheat oven to 220°o/450oF

This quantity makes approx 8 biscuits

1 1/4 tsp baking powder
1 Cup all-purpose flour
1/2 Tbsp salt
1/2 Cup Cheddar cheese , grated
1 tsp dry mustard powder
2 tsp butter or margarine
3/4 Cup milk

Combine flour, baking powder, mustard and salt in a medium bowl. Stir in Cheddar.

Cut in butter using a pastry blender or 2 knives until coarse crumbs form.

Using a fork, stir milk into flour mixture until a soft dough forms. Do not over mix or overwork dough.

Drop dough in heaped tablespoons, 1 inch apart, onto an ungreased baking sheet. Bake until biscuits are firm to the touch, about 15 minutes.
