2 c. sifted flour
3 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. dill
1 tsp. salt
1/3 c. vegetable shortening
1/2 c. sharp shredded Cheddar or Swiss cheese
3/4 c. milk

In a mixing bowl, mix flour, baking powder, dill and salt. With a fork, cut in shortening until mixture looks like coarse meal. Stir in shredded cheese. Add milk and stir just enough to hold dough together. Place on a lightly floured surface and knead lightly; roll 3/4-inch thick. Cut with floured biscuit cutter without turning the biscuit cutter (push straight down) and place on a lightly greased cookie sheet.

Bake at 425°F for 12 to 15 minutes or until as brown as desired.

Yield: Twelve 2-inch biscuits.
