Paula's Cheese Biscuits

Poor Paula is getting a bad rap these days. Love or hate her, Paula Deen can cook. I have pinned or bookmarked almost her entire site of recipes and continue to adore her. I have yet to find a recipe of hers that wasn't incredible.


Including these biscuits. I am much more of a biscuit girl than a roll kind of girl. I could serve them with every meal and often make a big batch so I can have them for breakfast the next morning. These biscuits are light and fluffy and crumble in your mouth. Mmmm....


Ingredients:
1 cup buttermilk
1/4 stick butter, melted
3/4 cup grated sharp cheddar
1/3 cup shortening
1 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking powder
2 cups self rising flour


Preheat oven to 350 degrees.


In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder, sugar and salt together, using a fork. Cut in shortening until it resembles cornmeal. Add cheese. Stir in buttermilk all at one time, just until blended. Do not over stir! Drop by tablespoons full, or use and ice cream scoop, onto well greased baking sheet. Brush dough with melted butter. 


Bake 12 to 15 minutes.
