Not that Baking Powder Biscuits are all that time consuming to make but sometimes the thought of digging around for the pastry blender, doing the actual pastry blending is enough to put you off making biscuits altogether. Well, here is a super quick way to whip them up in your Kitchenaide!

4 cups Flour, or half White Flour, half Whole Wheat Flour
2 1/2 Tablespoons Baking Powder
1 Tablespoon Sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons Salt
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar Cheese
2/3 cup Shortening or Butter, cold, cut into small cubes
1 2/3 cup cold Skim Milk (Soy Milk)

Preheat oven to 450F.
Lightly dust baking sheet with a bit of cornmeal; set aside.

Place flour(s), baking powder, sugar and salt in Mixer bowl; attach bowl and flat beater to mixer.
Turn to Stir Speed and mix just until all the dry ingredients are well blended.
Add shortening  and continue mixing for about 1 minute; while that is mixing, add shredded cheddar cheese.
Add milk, all at once, and continue stirring on Stir Speed just until dough starts to cling to the beater. AVOID  OVERBEATING!
Turn dough onto lightly floured surface and gently knead about 20 seconds. Gently roll out with floured rolling pin or pat into 1/2″ thickness. Cut into wedges.
Place on prepared baking sheet and bake in preheated oven for 12 – 15 minutes.
Serve immediately.
