PIMENTO CHEESE BISCUITS II

Pimento Cheese Biscuits

Course: Appetizer, Bread Cuisine: American Author: Stacey Little | Southern Bite

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups White Lily® self-rising flour 1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon sugar

1/2 cup butter

1 cup buttermilk

1 (3-ounce) jar diced pimentos, drained well 

1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 475°. In a large bowl combine the self-rising flour, salt, and sugar. Add the butter, and cut it into the flour using a pastry cutter or large fork. The mixture should be crumbly. Stir in the buttermilk, pimentos, and cheese and mix until everything is just combined.

2. Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface. Knead the dough lightly, being sure to fold the dough in half 3 or 4 times. This helps create flaky layers. Gently roll the dough out to about 3/4- inch thick. Use a biscuit cutter to cut the biscuits by pressing the cutter straight down. Do not twist the cutter. Transfer the biscuits to a baking pan. Bake the biscuits for 14 to 16 minutes or until just golden brown.
