1 cup flour, 4 tbsp butter cut in, 1/3 cup milk, grated cheddar cheese. bake til done at 425. For this kind of recipe I usually use the Joy of Cooking as a reference and then do my own thing. Since it is just the two of us, I only made six (yummy, warm) biscuits.
While i was making them, I was struck by the trifecta of tools that were passed on to me by my mother and grandmothers. my mom gave me the round board (made for rolling Lefse by a company in Minnesota). It has a removable, washable fabric cover. The rolling pin was given to me by my mom's mom and was my great grandmother's. It has one handle that moves and the other is attached to the center. Third, the biscuit cutter was given to me with a bunch of cookie cutters by my dad's mom. It's the one I use the most (with the state of Iowa cookie cutter coming a close second!) and I love the ingenuity of it. Hello, it's just a tuna can with some holes nailed in it. And it's probably at least as old as I am, if not older. I wonder who hammered those holes. Anyway, We sell biscuit cutters at Crate and Barrel for $7.95.
Not to be constantly talking shop, but that cookie sheet of mine is pretty hawt too... it came with a full size sheet pan, and both of them have plastic tops that snap on for easy storage and transport. It was made by Nordicware, and I'm not sure where they're available since these ones are discontinued from the C&B.
