Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in shredded cheese, then add milk until a soft dough forms.
Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet or roll (½-¾ inch) and cut for uniform biscuits.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, until golden brown.
