Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
• 1 1/4 teaspoons garlic powder, divided
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
• 1/4 cup shortening
• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 12 slices pepperoni, diced

Directions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.

Mix flour, baking powder, 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder, salt, and white pepper together in a bowl.

Cut shortening into flour mixture with a knife or pastry blender until the mixture is slightly lumpy. Stir milk, Cheddar cheese, and pepperoni into flour mixture until well blended. Drop 2-inch balls onto the prepared baking sheet.
