Steps

1Preheat oven to 475º F.
2Cut the cold butter into flour and salt with a pastry blender or fork.
3Slowly pour milk into your dry ingredients. Mix lightly. Fold in grated cheddar cheese.
4Pour dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat into a round disc about 1/2 inch thick. Cut dough with a sharp metal or glass cutter.
5Add about 1 to 2 tablespoons of shortening to your baking sheet and place into the oven to melt, about 2 or 3 minutes. Once melted, remove from the oven and tilt the pan to make sure the bottom of the baking sheet is well-coated.
6Carefully place each biscuit into the hot grease on the baking pan. You'll hear a bit of a sizzle as the bottom of the biscuit fries a bit in the hot grease. Place the baking pan into the oven and bake until the biscuits have risen and are lightly browned, about 10 - 12 minutes. Remove from oven and brush with melted butter.
7Serve warm.
