Ingredients

• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 3 tablespoons white sugar
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
• 2 cups flour
• 0.5 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup milk
• 0.5 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 0.5 cup butter or margarine

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and cream of tartar. Cut in butter using a pastry cutter or a fork until it is the size of peas. Make a well in the center of the mixture and measure the milk, cheese and thyme into the bowl. Gently mix until a soft dough forms.

Step 3

Roll or pat out on a floured surface to 3/4 inch thick. Cut into circles and place on a baking sheet.

Step 4

Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the bottoms of the biscuits are golden brown.
