Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter cold
  • 3/4 cup milk or plant-based milk
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme chopped
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk them together until well blended.
  3. Add the cold unsalted butter to the dry mixture and work it into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in the chopped rosemary, thyme, and shredded sharp cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
  5. Pour in the milk gradually while stirring gently until just combined.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it just enough to bring it together into a cohesive mass.
  7. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the disc into equal wedges and place each wedge on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  8. Bake in your preheated oven for about 15–20 minutes or until golden brown on top.
  9. Once baked, remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for several minutes before serving.
