Cheesy Pimiento Biscuits

2 1/4 cups self-rising flour

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled

1 cup buttermilk

1 jar diced pimientos, undrained (2 oz.)

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.  Sift flour, garlic powder, onion powder together in a large bowl.  Add cheese and stir to coat cheese with flour.  Cut butter into small pieces and add to flour mixture.  Using a pastry blender, cut butter into mixture until crumbly.  Cover and chill 10 minutes.  Stir together buttermilk and undrained pimientos.  Add liquid to dry ingredients, stirring until moistened. 

Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and kneed 3-4 times, adding more flour as needed.  Press or pat dough into a 3/4 inch thick rectangle.  Sprinkle lightly with flour, then fold dough over onto itself, kneading and patting into 3/4 thick rectangle again. 

On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into 1/2 inch thick rectangle.  Cut with desired size round biscuit cutter.  Place on parchment lined baking sheet, allowing biscuits to touch slightly.  Bake for 12-14 minutes or until lightly browned.
