In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt together using a fork; cut in shortening until it resembles cornmeal. Add cheese. Stir in buttermilk all at 1 time just until blended. Do not over stir. Drop by tablespoonfuls, or use an ice cream scoop, onto a well greased baking sheet. Brush dough with melted butter. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes.

  1. If you brush with garlic butter, you will have cheddar bay biscuits (similar to Red Lobster). You can also try using honey butter for a sweet taste.

    I have made this recipe before, nothing to call home about. Find a simple country-style old-fashion biscuit recipe and just add cheese.
