In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, pepper and 1 cup cheddar cheese. Cut in butter cubes using a pastry blender or fork, until you have pea-sized lumps of flour. Add milk and mix with your hands until mixture is moistened.

Knead gently on floured surface 8 times. Roll out to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut with 2-1/2-inch biscuit cutter. Re-roll and cut scraps. Place biscuits on baking sheet and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheddar.
