Cheese Biscuits are one of those items that simply must be tasted directly from the oven, the threat of third degree burns be damned. I rank a good cheese biscuit taste up there in the top ten tastes of all time.
This recipe is what one would call a "processor recipe", in that you make it primarily in your food processor. It's not complicated, nor is it overly aesthetic, but the taste is definitely worth it.
Pulse your cheese in a food processor until it's a crumb like consistency. Add the flour to the food processor and blend well.
While blending, add bits of the butter, a little at a time. Allow the dough to form. When the butter is gone, spoon the dough from the processor into a medium sized mixing bowl. Place in the refrigerator for at least one hour, but preferably over night.
To bake, pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees F. Roll out the dough about 1/2" thick. Cut into squares and then cut the squares along the diagonal.
Place onto a baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Top with sesame seeds, cayenne pepper, or both. Place in the oven and cook 6 minutes. Do not over cook or the biscuits will quite literally melt.
Remove from oven and serve hot.
