The delicious finished product! |
2 Cups Flour (for the above batch, I used 1 1/2 cups wheat flour and 1/2 cup white flour)
1 3/4 teaspoon Baking Powder (seriously? I round it to 2 teaspoons and have noticed no ill effects)
1 teaspoon Sugar
1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
1/2 Cup Chilled Butter
2/3 Cup Shredded Monterey Jack cheese (I use whatever is in the fridge; I think it was some sort of 4 Mexican cheese blend for this batch.)
1/2 Cup Grated Parmesan
2 teaspoons dried Parsley
3/4 Cup Buttermilk (I NEVER have Buttermilk, so I put about 1 Tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar in my liquid measuring cup, fill it up to 3/4 with milk, and let it sit for a few minutes.)
1 Large Egg
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Mix dry ingredients (technically the first 6 ingredients, but I always add the parsley here too), then cut butter into flour mixture until coarse crumbs form.
Coarse Crumbs, I think.... |
Knead into a 9-inch circle on floured surface <-------(I don't do this because it is messy and sticky! I just use my spatula and mix it in the bowl.)
No floured surface necessary! |
I scooped the dough right out of the bowl into this pan, smoothed it down with the spatula, and then cut it. |
So delicious! Try not to burn your mouth when you are overcome by the enticing aroma and must try it immediately! |

YUM. And I love the "seriously?" aside on the baking powder measurement.
That looks really, really good. I've been thinking about it for a day and a half now.
josephinalouise--it IS really good! And even the next day, if you microwave a piece for about 15 seconds, it tastes like it just came out of the oven!
