Fabio's Cheese Bomb Biscuits

This recipe is really easy to make. 15 minutes and you will have biscuits in the oven. The biscuits are delicious and tender with a bit of crunch on the top from the cheese.
Ingredients:
2 cups flour, sifted
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups grated Parmigiano Reggiano or Romano cheese,
plus extra for sprinkling on top of biscuits
4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) shortening
1 1/4 cups half and half (or heavy cream--I used all heavy cream),
plus extra for brushing tops of biscuits
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 450 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl combine flour, baking powder, salt and cheese and stir until ingredients are well mixed.
Cut in shortening using a hand pastry blender or a fork until the mixture resembles a coarse meal.
Add in half and half and stir until just combined.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat until 1 1/2 inches thick.
Using a 2 inch floured cutter, cut out each biscuit and place it about 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheet.
Or you can scoop out the biscuits with a spoon or ice cream scoop.
Brush each biscuit with half and half (or heavy cream).
Sprinkle the top of each biscuit lightly with remaining cheese.
Bake for 15 minutes until biscuits are golden brown.
