A Bit More Autumn Whimsy

It's cold and rainy, I couldn't find the Bisquick, and I wanted something warm.

Cheddar-Pepper Biscuits:

• 1.75 c flour
• 2.5 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1/3 c grated cheddar cheese
• 1 c soy milk

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Whisk the dry ingredients together to aerate, then cut the butter in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the cheese and fluff things so the cheese is coated with flour; gradually add the milk and stir until everything is well incorporated. Drop heaping spoonfuls on a greased cookie sheet and bake on the middle oven rack at 450 for 10 to 12 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown.
