directions

  • In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the butter until mixture looks like oatmeal. Add the cheese and nuts, and toss to distribute the flour. Make a well in the center and add the 1 1/2 cups of buttermilk and the egg. Stir with a sturdy spoon until you have a shaggy dough.
  • Tip the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently to bring together. Form into a slightly flattened 6 inch round. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Brush with the remaining buttermilk and sprinkle with pepper. With a serrated knife, cut a shallow X in the top of the loaf.
  • Bake 10 minutes on 400 degrees. Then reduce the oven to 375 degrees and bake for 35 minutes. Cool on wire rack. You may need to tent with foil, if the loaf begins to brown to quickly.

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
