I saw Paula make this on one of her shows and thought it sounded good, so I tried it and my family really liked it.
Ingredients:
2 cups self-rising flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon sugar
1/3 cup shortening
3/4 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup buttermilk
salt
1/8 cup butter, melted
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. In medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt, to taste, and sugar together using a fork; cut in shortening until it resembles cornmeal.
3. Add cheese.
4. Stir in buttermilk all at one time just until blended. Do not over stir.
5. Drop by tablespoon, or use ice cream scoop, onto a well greased baking sheet.
6. Brush dough with melted butter.
7. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes.
8. Note: it took the biscuits 20 minutes to cook in my oven, but I have and oven that always takes longer to bake than the recipe says.
