Loaded Biscuits

I love biscuits! And I love all the extra things added to make these biscuits extra tasty. A recipe from my hubby's Mom.
- 2 cups flour
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 4 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 1/4 cups grated cheddar cheese
- 3 tbsp finely chopped green onion
- 2 tbsp finally chopped green pepper (I used orange as that's what I had on hand)
- 1/3 cup oil
- 3/4 cup cold milk

Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cheese, onion and pepper in a large bowl. Add oil and milk. Using a fork, toss the ingredients together until the mixture forms a ball or mass, which will stick together, adding more milk if necessary. Excess liquid makes a sticky dough that is hard to handle and too little makes a dough that will crumble and crack. Turn out onto a lightly floured board; knead lightly two or three times. Roll untili 3/4 inch thick. Cut into biscuit rounds with a biscuit cutter or drinking glass. Place on greased baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees C for 15 to 20 minutes or until browned.

* I think I rolled these a little too thin. Still tasted good, but wouldn't roll it quite so thin next time. Yummmmmmmmmmmmm!!
