Herb and Cheese Biscuits
This is a recipe my brother and I crafted one day to go along with my mom’s famous potato soup. It quickly became a favourite in my family and now we make them with all kinds of soups!

- ● 2 Cups flour
- ● 1 Tablespoon baking powder
- ● 2 Teaspoons sugar
- ● 1/2 Teaspoon cream of tartar
- ● 1/4 Teaspoon salt
- ● 2 Teaspoons smoked paprika regular paprika is also an option, but won’t give that smokey flavour
- ● 2 Tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary (or 2 TEAspoons dried)
- ● 1/2 Cup cold cubed butter
- ● 1 Well-packed cup cheddar cheese
- ● 2/3 Cup milk

- Using your hands or a pastry blender, squish in butter until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Mix in cheese, then make a well in the centre, add the milk, and stir until dough clings together.

- Roll the dough to 1/2 inch thickness and cut out with a round cookie cutter.
- Transfer to a cookie sheet prepared with parchment paper and bake for 12 minutes or until golden.
Notes
Tip: If you don’t have a cookie cutter, you can use a glass with a 2 1/2 inch rim
