- In a food processor, combine the flour with the baking pwdr, baking soda, and salt and process to just combine. Add in the butter and pulse till a coarse meal is formed. Add in the buttermilk and cheese and process till just mixed. Add in the olives and pulse for a few seconds to combine till a slightly sticky dough is formed.
- Turn the dough out on a lightly floured surface and with lightly floured hand, knead it 3 or possibly 4 times. Roll the dough out to 1/2-inch thickness and cut rounds with a small 1 1/2-inch biscuit cutter or possibly similar size cookie cutter. Lightly coat the biscuits with butter-flavored non-stick cooking spray.
- Place the biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet and bake for 15 min or possibly till lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and serve piping warm.
