Easy Cheddar Biscuits

These biscuits are so easy and SOO GOOD you can't stop eating them. I actually doubled my recipe and froze half of them. The frozen ones were just as good!
Prep Time: 10 min
Total Time: 22 min
Makes: 9 servings, one biscuit and about 2-1/2 tsp...

1 cup flour
2 tsp. Baking Powder
1/4 tsp. cream of tartar
1/4 tsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) cold butter, cut up
1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
1/3 cup milk
1/2 cup (1/2 of 8-oz. tub) Chive & Onion Cream Cheese Spread

PREHEAT oven to 450ºF. Mix flour, baking powder, cream of tartar, sugar and salt in medium bowl. Cut in butter with pastry blender or two knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in Cheddar cheese. Add milk; stir until mixture forms soft dough.
PLACE on lightly floured surface; knead eight to 10 times or until smooth. Pat out dough into 6-inch square. Cut into nine squares. Place on ungreased baking sheet.
BAKE 10 to 12 min. or until golden brown. Spread each split warm biscuit with 2-1/2 tsp. of the cream cheese spread.
