Instructions: Place all dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl, and stir to distribute evenly. Cut vegetable shortening into dry ingredients using a pastry blender or two butter knives. (Mixture will resemble cornmeal). Make a well in the center, and add milk & shredded cheese. Stir until dry ingredients are all moistened, but do not over mix. Drop 1/4 cup sized spoonfuls onto a greased baking sheet, and bake at 450F for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from oven and set aside while you melt the 1/4 cup butter or margarine and stir 1/8 tsp. garlic powder into it (Can be done in the microwave on low heat). Brush onto tops of baked biscuits, then serve biscuits warm with meal.
