As Chris and I say in our Cheaper by the Baker’s Dozen seminar, we make something hearty yet inexpensive on activity nights. This recipe is easy to make and makes for a fantastic addition to most any meal.

2 cups flour

2 1/2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp garlic salt

4 Tbsp lard

1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated

3/4  cup milk

Mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in lard. Stir in cheese. Add milk. This makes a soft, sticky ball. Roll out onto floured surface and press into rectangle about 1/2 inch thick. Cut into squares or circles . Arrange on un-greased cookie sheet. Bake 425 degrees for 10 minutes or until golden brown.

These biscuits are simply delicious.

You can trade out the garlic salt and use just garlic powder if you like. Also, you can use shortening instead of lard.
You may pick any cheese but we like sharp cheddar best.  Enjoy!!
