Cheddar Cheese Biscuits

In keeping with my biscuit theme for the week , I didn't make the chicken spread ,but I will be posting that recipe as well....As usual this recipe is from the 1001 muffin cookbook

                                     So lets get started....

                        Cheddar Cheese biscuits

                            lets start with the dry

                                        In large bowl , blend together;
                                               2 cups all-purpose flour,
                                              4 teaspoon baking powder,
                                              2 teaspoon sugar,
                                              1/2 teaspoon salt,

                                       now the wet ;

                                                  In medium bowl beat;
                                                       1 large egg,            
                                                       2 Tablespoon butter or margarine ,at room temp.
                                                      3/4 cup milk
                                                before stirring in
                                                          1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese

                                                  Combine the wet into the dry,
                                                but don't over-mix,
                                                          mix just until dough holds together
                                           

 

Turn out the dough out onto a lightly floured surface

Knead 7-8 times,
