Sift flour before measuring. Resift with salt and baking powder. Cut in
butter or shortening with a pastry blender (or use the food processor like
I do) until mixture is of the consistency of course corn meal. Mix in the
cheddar.

Make a well in the center of these ingredients and add milk all at once.
Stir for one scant minute. Drop onto ungreased baking sheet and bake 12 ro
15 minutes or till lightly browned.

there are other optional additions like crumbled bacon, parmesan, parsley,
chives... Posted to TNT Prodigy's Recipe Exchange Newsletter by
