a note for the biscuits:
they are supposed to be baked on a buttered and floured pan. you can also brush the tops with butter when they come out of the oven. i opted for the healthier version of baking on a parchment paper lined sheet, and no butter on top.

cheese biscuits

i have been on a baking kick as of late. it is kind of fun. i went to co-op the other day and got to charge a whole load of baking supplies to the school, just so i could enjoy baking with the girls. sweet deal! i have also been on the search for good, low fat recipes. i have found a few. today i stumbled upon a recipe for cheese biscuits. i just happened to have some grated cheese in my fridge that needed to be used, so this seemed like a good idea. i have never made cheese biscuits before, but they seem to have turned out well. here is the recipe, in case you too want to enjoy some yummy cheese biscuits.

2 C. all-purpose flour
2 1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 C. margarine (hard)
3/4 C. grated cheddar cheese
3/4 C. milk

sift together flour, baking powder and salt. cut in margarine until it is crumbly. mix in cheese and milk. turn out of bowl and kneed a few times until smooth. roll out to about 3/4 inch thickness and cut with a biscuit cutter (i used a floured glass). bake at 425 until lightly browned on top. i think about 17 minutes. makes 1 dozen biscuits (i got 14...). enjoy.
