2 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup unsalted butter or margarine, softened
2/3 cup grated cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon finely chopped green pepper
2/3 cup whole milk
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup unsalted butter or margarine, softened
2/3 cup grated cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon finely chopped green pepper
2/3 cup whole milk
Preheat the oven to a strong temperature (400°F)
Sift together flour, yeast, and salt into a medium-sized bowl
Add butter or margarine in small pieces, cutting with a knife, and mix until forming a crumbly texture
Add cheese and green pepper and mix well
Add milk and mix with a spoon just enough to loosen the dough from the sides of the bowl
Place the dough onto a floured surface and knead the dough 7 or 8 times with your hands, but do not overwork it, as this will make the biscuits hard and they won't rise well
Open the dough into a circle about 1 cm thick and cut it into slices using a biscuit cutter with a 5 cm diameter
Arrange the slices onto an ungreased baking sheet
Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown
Remove from the baking sheet and serve warm with butter or margarine
This recipe is best served within one day.
