Preheat the oven to 425 F. Lightly grease a baking sheet. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, salt and baking powder. Cut in butter with a pastry cutter until it resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in cheese and milk. Mix with a fork until the dough comes together and forms a ball. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board and knead 5-6 times. Roll the dough out to a 1 inch thickness. Cut with a 2 inch biscuit cutter. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until they are light brown. Optional: Brush the tops of the biscuits with 2 tablespoons melted butter after removing from the oven
