Home-Made Garlic-Cheese Biscuts

Just as a side note I add just a little more garlic into the recipe than it calls for.

2 cups flour (all purpose, unbleached)
4 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
Pinch of Garlic
3 Tbsp grated or shredded cheddar cheese
2 Tbsp Shortening
¾ cup milk

Preheat oven to 450 F.
Sift together all dry ingredients. Mix in cheddar cheese. Rub in shortening with your finger tips. Gradually add milk while stirring with knife. A soft tough will form.

Turn dough onto floured surface. Roll dough to ½ inch thickness. Cut with biscuit cutter or glass dipped in flour to prevent sticking. Place on baking sheet (do not allow biscuits to touch). Bake 10-15 minutes.
