In the UK these Biscuits are known as scones. These measures can be doubled up successfully. They freeze well and will keep for up to a month.

Quick and Easy Cheese Biscuits
Preheat oven to 220?o/450oF

This quantity makes approx 8 biscuits

1 1/4 tsp baking powder
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 Tbsp salt
1/2 cup Cheddar cheese , grated
1 tsp dry mustard powder
2 tsp butter or margarine
3/4 cup milk

Combine flour, baking powder, mustard and salt in a medium bowl. Stir in Cheddar. Cut in butter using a pastry blender or 2 knives until coarse crumbs form. Using a fork, stir milk into flour mixture until a soft dough forms. Do not over mix or overwork dough. Drop dough in heaped tablespoons, 1 inch apart, onto an ungreased baking sheet. Bake until biscuits are firm to the touch, about 15 minutes.

Great with a bowl of tomato or minestrone soup. You can find an excellent recipe from Chris in NM for Creamy Tomato Soup at this link:

The last time I was in the UK I ate some lemon scones. They were so good and never have found a recipe close to them. Not sure where I ate them but do know it was somewhere near Berkeley Castle in Gloucestershire, England.
