Sunday, March 1, 2009Herbed Cheese Biscuits

2 C. flour
2 t. baking powder
1/2 t. baking soda
1/2 t. mustard powder
1 T. chopped fresh herbs or 1 t. dried herbs
4 T. butter
1 C. shredded cheese (whatever kind you prefer)
3/4 C. sour cream
1/4 C. milk

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, mustard powder and herbs.
Using a pastry blender or your fingers, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs and the pieces of butter are the size of peas. Stir in shredded cheese.
In a small bowl or measuring cup, mix together sour cream and milk. Add sour cream mixture to the dry mixture. Stir until just combined.
Turn dough out onto a well-floured counter and knead a few times with floured hands. Pat dough out with your hands to about one-inch thickness. Cut biscuits using a biscuit cutter or cut into desired shapes with a knife.
Bake at 450 degrees for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
