Directions
I just happen to have a couple recipes from the Feb. Bon Appetit that I was about to post. Perhaps you can adapt the first one.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Butter large baking sheet. Sift first 5 ingredients twice into medium bowl. Mix in cheeses. Add shortening; rub in with fingertips until mixture resembles course meal. Add buttermilk, stirring until dough begins to form clumps. Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface; knead gently until smooth, about 8 turns. Roll dough out to ¾ inch thickness. Using 3-inch biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits.
Gather dough scraps; reroll and cut out additional biscuits. Transfer to prepared baking sheet. Bake until puffed and golden brown, about 15 minutes. Serve warm. Makes about 9 biscuits. Posted to CHILE-HEADS DIGEST V3 #276 by cmainard@... (Cheryl Mainard) on Mar 27, 1997
