Incredible Edible Cheese Biscuits

Minxy24/7's Note:

Anybody who knows me, knows that I can't bake to save my life. My gf jokes that whenever I bake biscuits then you know the NHL is short on pucks! So when I came across this little gem of a recipe she had to eat her words, literally, when they came out perfect! I found the recipe in a non-profit cookbook called "A Little Taste Of Home".

You hit the jackpot with this recipe! DH raved over them. He likes his plain, I loved them with sweet butter- YUM! I used sharp cheddar cheese and did add about 2 tbsp of additional flour. Thanks for sharing. *Made for Spring PAC 2009*
