Ingredients

• 2 cups flour
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 3 tablespoons white sugar
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
• ½ cup butter or margarine
• ¾ cup milk
• ½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and cream of tartar. Cut in butter using a fork until it looks crumbly. Make a dip in the center of the dry mixture and add the milk, cheese and parsley into the bowl. Mix until a soft dough forms.
• Roll or pat out on a floured surface to 3/4 inch thick. Cut into circles and place on a baking sheet.
• Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the bottoms of the biscuits are golden brown.
