(by Shirley McNevich)

1 cup flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. cream of tartar
1/4 tsp. white sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 stick cold butter (cubed)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/3 cup milk

In a bowl add flour, baking powder, cream of tartar, sugar and salt--stir. Add butter cubes and cut in with a pastry blender, two knives or with your hands--mix until it makes large crumbs. Add shredded cheddar cheese--stir. Add milk--stir until it makes a dough ball. Place dough on a floured counter, flour the top of the dough and knead with your hands ten times. Form dough into a square about 1" thick. Cut into square biscuits using a knife. Place on greased cookie sheets. Bake at 450 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
