Garlic Cheese Biscuits

Ingredients

• 2 cups flour
• 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 2 Tbsp chives, (opt.)
• 3/4 cup cheddar cheese, finely grated (more or less, to taste)
• 4 Tbsp shortening
• 1 cup milk or sour milk

Directions

Mix flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, chives and cheddar cheese in a bowl. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender or fork until it resembles coarse cornmeal. Add milk, stirring just enough to combine ingredients. Do not over stir. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 450 degrees F for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Makes 10 biscuits.
