Step 1

Whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Grate butter or cut into very small pieces and mix into flour until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 2

Stir in shredded cheese and add buttermilk. Turn dough onto a floured surface and pat or roll out to about 1/2 inch thickness. I cut my biscuits with a 2 inch square biscuit cutter but you can use a round cutter, a glass or whatever works for you.

Step 3

Spray a baking sheet with cooking oil and bake in preheated 425 degree oven 12 to 15 minutes. Makes 12 biscuits depending on size you make them.
