Ingredients

  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 stick butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup grated sharp Cheddar or 1 cup depends
  • 1/3 cup shortening

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 cup self-rising flour

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt together using a fork; cut in shortening until it resembles cornmeal. Add cheese. Stir in buttermilk all at 1 time just until blended. Do not over stir. Drop by tablespoonfuls, or use an ice cream scoop, onto a well greased baking sheet. Brush dough with melted butter. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes.
