Canadian Tea Biscuits

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

2. 2

   Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Cut in the shortening with 2 knives or a pastry blender until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Stir in the Cheddar and chives; gradually stir in the milk until a soft dough forms.

3. 3

   Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead with floured hands until smooth, about 15 times.

4. 4

   Using a floured rolling pin, roll the dough out to 1 inch thick. Cut out biscuits with a 2 1/2-inch round cookie cutter and place them on an ungreased baking sheet.

5. 5

   Press the dough trimmings together, roll them out again, and cut the remaining dough into biscuits.

6. 6

   Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
