2 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Baking Soda
1/4 cup Shortening or Lard
1 cup shredded Cheddar Cheese
3/4 cup Buttermilk
In a large mixing bowl combine flour, baking powder, salt & baking soda. Cut in shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in cheese. Add buttermilk; stir just until dough clings together. On a lightly floured surface, knead dough lightly until easy to handle. Pat into a 12 inch circle. Cut 8-12 wedges. Begin at wide edge and roll toward point. Place biscuits point side down on a greased baking sheet. Bake @ 400-425 for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
