Ingredients
- Cooking spray
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 5 tablespoons (plus 2 tablespoons) expeller-pressed oil spread or butter
- 1 cup nonfat milk
- 1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 ounces ham or soy vegetarian substitute, diced
- 3-4 green onions, chopped including green parts
- 1 clove garlic, minced or pressed
Instructions
- Coat a large skillet with cooking spray and preheat over medium fire or heat.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well. Cut in 5 tablespoons spread or butter a bit at a time, until mixture looks coarse and crumbly. Add milk, cheese, ham or soy, and green onions. Stir together to form a thick dough.
- Melt remaining 2 tablespoons spread or butter in a metal measuring cup and add garlic.
- Drop golf-ball-size spoonfuls of dough into the hot skillet and promptly flatten with a spatula to about 1/4-inch thick. Cook, turning regularly and basting lightly with melted butter, until onions darken and bread is a deep golden brown. Eat immediately.
