  Paula Deen's Cheese Biscuits


2 cups self-rising flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp sugar
1/2 cup Crisco shortening
3/4 cup grated cheddar cheese
1 cup buttermilk

Preheat oven to 350 and while you're waiting, go put on a pair of
pants with an elastic waistband. Mix flour, baking powder, and sugar
together using a fork; cut in shortening until it resembles cornmeal.
Add cheese. Stir in buttermilk (because the stick of lard and all the
cheese isn't really enough fat) all at one time just until blended. Do
not over-stir. Drop by spoonfuls onto a well-greased baking sheet. Bake
12-15 minutes. Makes about 8 large biscuits or 12 medium size ones.

Strawberry Butter

1/2 stick of butter, softened
2-3 tbs. powdered sugar
2-3 tbs. finely chopped strawberries

In a small bowl, combine all ingredients until blended. Makes about a
1/2 cup.

Serve with warm cheese biscuits. Eat and know that there is a God in
heaven who loves you and is the giver of all good things, including
cheese biscuits coated in strawberry butter. Of course, if you eat like
this all the time, you may meet Him sooner rather than later.
