Ingredients

1-3/4 cup All-purpose Flour
1 Tablespoon Sugar
2 teaspoons Baking Powder
2 teaspoons Salt
1/4 cups Cold Butter, Cut Into Pieces
1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
1 whole Large Egg, Beaten

Directions

1

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blender until it is crumbly. Stir in the cheese. Stir egg and half-and-half together. Slowly add the flour mixture until all is moist. Turn dough out on a lightly floured surface, knead 3-4 times, and gently roll into a ball. Shape dough into a 7-inch circle on an ungreased baking sheet. With a sharp knife, cut into 6 wedges, but do not separate.
