1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
3/4 cup milk (regular, evaporated or buttermilk) Preheat oven to 450°F. In a medium bowl combine self-rising flour with shortening using a pastry cutter. Add cheddar and continue mixing. Mix in milk to make a soft dough.
Turn dough onto heavily floured board. Pat dough until about 1 inch thick, sprinkling with flour as necessary. Using biscuit cutter cut biscuits and place on a foil-covered cookie sheet. Bake at 450°F for 12-15 minutes.
