These would be good with soup. From Real Simple.
Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup butter, chilled, cut into 1/4-inch dice
2/3 cup heavy cream, plus 1 tbsp for brushing
1 cup about 4 oz grated cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 425 degrees.
2. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in 2/3 c cream.
3. Add cheddar and chives and use hands to combine; dough should be crumbly. Knead dough a couple of times until it comes together. Gently pat into a ball, then flatten slightly into a 1 thick disk.
4. Transfer to a baking sheet. Slice into quarters, then cut each quarter in half. Brush top with remaining cream. Bake for about 30 minutes or until golden.
