Biscuit mix to the rescue . . . again!

I always keep a box of biscuit mix in my cupboard. I use the name-brand or the generic, whatever is the best buy that week. Nothing improves the taste of the soup or the attitude of the family when there are biscuit along side a steaming bowl of soup. This is a good one with, as always, lots of room for your own touches. Cheese Biscuits 2 cups biscuit mix 2/3 cup milk (I use 2% fat milk) 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese 1/4 cup melted butter 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl until just mixed. If the dough seems too 'loose', add bit of biscuit mix until you read a good consistency.  Drop by heaping tablespoons onto a vegetable oil sprayed baking sheet. Bake for about 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Serve hot from the oven although they aren't bad for a snack the next day! Ideas . . . Use whatever cheese you like - the spiced Jack cheese is a nice change. Add some dried dill. 1/2 cup of either grated Romano or Paramesan cheese in place of the cup of cheddar takes you Italian! Throw in some sun-dried tomato bits to the original recipe. Brush the tops with some extra butter and sprinkle with garlic or onion powder.
