Cheese Drop Biscuits

2 1/2 cups Self-Rising Flour
1/4 cup Vegetable Shortening OR Vegetable Shortening Sticks
1 cup (4 oz) shredded Cheddar cheese
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup butter, melted

HEAT oven to 450. PLACE flour in large bowl. Divide shortening into several pieces; scatter on top of flour. Cut in shortening using pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture is the size of peas.

STIR in cheese and milk gradually, stirring only enough to moisten flour and hold dough together. Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheet.

BAKE 8 to 10 minutes or until tops are golden brown. Brush tops with melted butter.
