What You'll Need
- 2 cups self-rising flour, plus more for rolling out
- 1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1/2 cup vegetable shortening
- 2/3 cup buttermilk
What to Do
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, cheese, sugar, salt, and cayenne pepper, if desired; mix well. Using a fork or pastry cutter, cut shortening into flour mixture until crumbly. Add buttermilk and stir until a dough forms.
- Sprinkle flour on a board; knead dough until smooth. Roll out dough with a rolling pin to 1/2-inch thickness and cut into 2-inch heart-shaped biscuits. Place on baking sheet.
- Bake 10 to 12 minutes, or until light golden. Remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
