Ingredients

2½cupsall purpose flour
2tspbaking powder
1tspbaking soda
1tspsalt
4tbspunsalted butter,cut into ½-inch chunks
2cupscheddar cheese,grated
1¼cupslow fat buttermilk
1large egg

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease an 8-inch round cake pan with butter or nonstick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Toss in the cold butter. Using a pastry cutter or two butter knives, “cut” the butter into the flour mixture until the mixture is crumbly, with some pea-size clumps of butter within. Mix in the grated cheese.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and the egg. Add to the dry ingredients and stir until everything is just moistened. Do not overmix.
Transfer the sticky dough to the prepared pan. Dust your hands with flour and press the dough to the edges of the pan.
Bake the bread for 40 to 45 minutes, until golden brown and a cake tester comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then turn out onto a rack to cool.
Cut into wedges and serve warm with softened butter. Enjoy!
