2 cup(s) all purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoon(s) baking powder
1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
1/2 teaspoon(s) coarsely ground black pepper, divided
2 tablespoon(s) chilled butter, cut into small pieces
3/4 cup(s) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
3/4 cup(s) fat-free milk
vegetable oil spray
1 egg white, slightly beaten

Steps:

Combine flour, baking powder, salt and 1/4 tsp. black pepper in a large bowl.
Using a pastry cutter, mix in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add cheese and toss well.
Add milk and stir just until dry ingredients are moistened. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead 4-5 times. Roll dough out to 1/2 " thick and then using a 2" biscuit cutter, cut into rounds.
Place biscuits on parchment lined baking sheets and brush with the egg white. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 tsp. black pepper on top of each biscuit.
Bake biscuits at 425 degrees F for approx. 15 minutes or until lightly browned.
