Serve as a dinner bread or with fruit spread for a sweet-and-spicy breakfast. Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour |
1 tablespoon baking powder |
2 teaspoons sugar |
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
3 tablespoons chilled butter, cut into small pieces |
1/2 cup shredded fresh parmesan cheese |
2/3 cup low-fat buttermilk |
1 large egg |
cooking spray |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°.
2. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour and next 4 ingredients in a large bowl; cut in butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in cheese.
3. Combine buttermilk and egg in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add to flour mixture, stirring just until moist.
4. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead lightly 5 times with floured hands. Pat dough into an 8-inch circle on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Cut dough into 8 wedges, cutting into, but not through, dough. Coat lightly with cooking spray.
5. Bake at 400° for 24 minutes or until lightly browned.
