I just made these for my breakfast between typing new posts. I dont use shortening, so I used butter, and they are GREAT! I just happened to have some sharp cheddar that I needed to use, and this was perfect.
Thanks!(((((
I used 1/2 a cup of very cold unsalted butter, which I cut into small chunks before incorporating it to the flour with a pastry blender.
Heather <---Wondering just how many Heather's there are on this board! I know of 4, and think there are more.
