Homemade Buttermilk And Cheddar Biscuits

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Servings: 12

Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 Cups of Unbleached All Purpose Flour
  • 2 Teaspoons of Salt
  • 2 Teaspoons of Baking Powder
  • 1/2 Cup of Crisco I prefer Butter flavored
  • 1 Cup of Mild Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • 1 1/4 Cup of Buttermilk more or less
  • 1 Stick of Salted Butter Melted

Instructions
 

  1. Preheat oven to 425 Degrees F.
  2. In a large bowl, add in your flour, salt and baking powder. With a fork, stir the flour mixture around to try to even out the ingredients throughout.
  3. Make a divot in the middle of the flour, and add in your Crisco. Then with your hand or a fork (I used a fork), mix the crisco and flour together until you get it thoroughly mixed. You will wind up with a bowl full of tiny little flour & crisco beads.
  4. Make a divot and add in your cheese and buttermilk.
  5. Start mixing it all together with your fork (or hand).
  6. By the time that you're done, you should wind up with a somewhat tacky dough.
  7. On a slight greased cookie tray, start forming your biscuits! Here's how you do it. You want pinch about a slightly bigger portion than a golf ball off from the dough. Roll in your hands and then flatten to make a biscuit form and then place on tray. You should wind up with just a little about a baker's dozen. Of course, you can always make your biscuits bigger, if you wish, in order to make just a dozen.
  8. Bake for approximately 12 - 15 minutes, or until nice and lightly browned on top.
  9. Pull your biscuits out of the oven and, with a pastry brush, start spreading your melted butter on top until they're all drenched in butter.
