1 c. butter
2 1/2 c. flour
2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 to 1 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
3/4 tsp. baking soda
3/4 tsp. salt
2 c. (about 8 oz.) shredded sharp cheese
2 eggs
1 (8 oz.) container plain yogurt

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter and flour a 9x5x3 inch loaf pan; set aside.

In small saucepan over low heat, melt butter; set aside to cool. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, pepper, baking soda, and salt. Stir in Cheddar cheese.

In medium bowl, lightly beat eggs; stir in yogurt and melted butter. Add to flour mixture, stir just until dry ingredients are moistened; spoon into prepared pan. Bake in 375 degree oven until golden, about 35 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pan. Serve warm or toasted, if desired. Makes 1 loaf.

ROLLED BISCUITS:

Butter a large baking sheet; set aside. Prepare dough as directed. On a lightly floured surface, roll or pat dough 1/2 inch thick. Using a 2-inch round, place on prepared baking sheet, about 1 inch apart. Bake until golden, about 15 to 18 minutes. Makes 16 biscuits.

This is really good toasted or warm. I usually serve with a homemade soup for a complete meal.
