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

Gather dough scraps; reroll and cut out additional biscuits. Transfer to

minutes. Serve warm. Makes about 9 biscuits. From: Cheryl Mainard Date: 27
