CHEDDAR BISCUIT TWISTS

Category: Bread

2 cup self-rising flour
1/2 tsp dry mustard
1/4 tsp ground red pepper
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
3/4 cup milk

Heat oven to 450. Lightly grease a large cookie sheet. In a large bowl, combine the flour, mustard and ground red pepper; mix well. With a pastry blender or fork, cut in 1/4 cup of the butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in cheese. Add milk; stir just until dry ingredients are moistened.

On a lightly floured surface, knead dough just until smooth. Roll out dough to 15 x 10-inch rectangle, about 1/4 inches thick. Spread remaining 1/4 cup butter over dough.

Fold dough crosswise into thirds making a 10 x 5-inch rectangle. Roll dough to a 12 x 8 inch rectangle. With a pizza cutter or knife, cut dough in half lengthwise; cut each half into 4 x 1-inch strips. Twist each strip twice; place on greased cookie sheet, pressing down ends. Bake at 450 for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm. Makes 24 twists.
