How to Make Cheese Biscuits

• Pre-heat an oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly grease a baking sheet.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt and baking powder.
• Cut the butter with a pastry cutter until it resembles coarse crumbs.
• Stir in the cheese and milk.
• Mix with a fork until the dough comes together and forms a ball.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board and knead several times.
• Roll the dough out to 1-inch thickness. Cut with a 2-inch biscuit cutter.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes or until they are a light brown. Brush the tops of the biscuits with 2 tbsp melted butter after removing from the oven (optional).
