Green Onion Aged Cheddar Loaf

---

2 cups all purpose unbleached flour

1 teaspoon sugar

2 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

5 tablespoons butter, cold

1 1/2 cups aged cheddar cheese (grated), plus half a cup to sprinkle on top

2 green onions, finely chopped

2 eggs, room temperature

1 cup milk

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Using a pastry cutter, cut cold butter into the dry ingredients until mixture is crumbly. Add cheese and green onions. Lightly mix to combine. Set aside.

  

Mix milk and eggs in a separate bowl. Fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients (Do not over mix!).

Pour batter into a prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half a cup of cheese on top.

Bake for 20 minutes or until a stick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Remove from the oven. Serve hot with butter.
