I just happen to have a couple recipes from the Feb. Bon Appetit that I was
about to post. Perhaps you can adapt the first one.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Butter large baking sheet. Sift first 5
ingredients twice into medium bowl. Mix in cheeses. Add shortening; rub in
with fingertips until mixture resembles course meal. Add buttermilk,
stirring until dough begins to form clumps. Turn dough out onto lightly
floured surface; knead gently until smooth, about 8 turns. Roll dough out
to 3/4 inch thickness. Using 3-inch biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits.
Gather dough scraps; reroll and cut out additional biscuits. Transfer to
prepared baking sheet. Bake until puffed and golden brown, about 15
minutes. Serve warm. Makes about 9 biscuits.
