Cheddar Cheese Biscuits

These biscuits are easy to make and you can add ingredients to make different flavours.

Ingredients:

2 cups of all-purpose flour
1 cup of cheddar cheese
3/4 cups of sour cream
2 tablespoons of water
3 teaspoons of baking powder
1 teaspoon of baking soda
3/4 teaspoons of salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon of dried rosemary

Directions:

Combine the dry ingredients and mix together.  Then add sour cream, cheese, olive oil and water to form a dough.  The dough will appear dry at first. Mix with your hands until it comes together.  Add extra water if necessary.  The dough should not be sticky.  Shape into 10 to 12 round balls and form each ball into a biscuit shape.  Place on a baking tray and bake for about 10-12 minutes at 450 degrees F on the middle rack.

Variations:

You can omit the cheese, salt, olive oil and rosemary and add sugar, cinnamon and raisons for a nice sweet variation.  You can also change up the herbs and cheese to suit your taste.  The olive oil in the recipe is optional, but I do like the flavour it gives.  Try adding orange or lemon zest for nice fragrant biscuits.  The possibilities are endless!
