2 cups flour
4 tsp baking powder
2 tbsp sugar
3/4 tsp salt
1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
3 tbsp fresh herbs (any combination - 1 tbsp fresh oregano, 1 tbsp fresh basil & 1 tbsp chives is a good combo for Sweet & Savory Beef Stew)
1/3 cup canola or vegetable oil
3/4 cup milk
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Measure flour, baking powder, sugar and salt into a bowl and stir to combine. Add the grated cheese and herbs and stir together well. Pour in the oil and milk and stir until it forms a soft bowl of dough (add more milk if needed to achieve this). Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently 8-10 times. Roll out into a 1 inch thickness, and using a knife cut into about 12 squares. I never worry about making these perfect. Place the biscuits on an ungreased cookie sheet close together for moist sides or further apart for crisp sides. Dab the tops of the biscuits with a bit of milk so they brown. Bake for about 15 minutes until lightly browned and serve.
