Cheddar Biscuits a sharp side dish

These flavorful biscuits, adapted from "Saveur: The New Classics Cookbook" from the editor of Saveur, are easy to mix and even easier to eat.

Simply stir the ingredients together, pat the dough out, cut with a knife or biscuit cutter and bake. Heavy cream makes them rich while baking powder provides plenty of leavening to give them lift.

Studded with bits of cheddar cheese, they make a delicious accompaniment to stews and soups. The sharper the cheddar, the more flavorful they will be.
