This recipe came to me via the great State of Wisconsin… as you can tell, it proudly boasts their legendary export… cheese!
Four Cheeses Baking Powder Biscuits
Yield: 10 Servings
2 cups flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup butter, chilled
1/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1/4 cup white cheddar, shredded
1/4 cup Monterrey jack cheese, shredded
1/4 cup American cheese, shredded
2/3 cup milk
In a medium bowl, stir together flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in cheeses. Add milk, stirring just until moistened. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Quickly knead dough by gently folding and pressing dough 10 to 12 strokes or until nearly smooth.
Pat or lightly roll dough to 1 - 2 inch thickness. Cut dough with a floured 2 1/2 inch biscuit cutter. Place biscuits 1 inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake in a 450F oven for 10 - 12 minutes or until bottoms are golden brown. Serve warm.
