Cheddar-Ranch Baking Powder Biscuits

2 c. unbleached all-purpose flour
4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. dried parsley
2 T. butter
1/2 c. light ranch dressing
1/2 c. skim milk
4 oz. shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt & parsley in a large bowl. Cut in butter until coarse crumbs form. Add ranch, milk & cheese and mix until a shaggy dough forms. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead until dough is smooth. Pat or roll dough out to 1/2-inch thickness and cut with a 3-inch biscuit cutter. Place biscuits on a lightly greased baking sheet and chill in fridge for 15 minutes. Bake at 450 for 10-12 minutes or until golden and wonderfully puffed. Makes about 10 delicious biscuits!

* I made these to go with my Buffalo-Style Spaghetti!
