Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). In a large mixing bowl sift together flour, baking powder, salt and herbs. Cut in butter or shortening with fork or pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in cheddar cheese. Pour milk into flour mixture while stirring with a fork. Mix in milk until dough is soft, moist and pulls away from the side of the bowl.
