Cornbread

Ingredients:

3 cups flour

1 1/4 cup cornmeal

2 Tbsp. sugar

2 1/2 tsp. baking powder

1 1/4 tsp. baking soda

1 1/4 tsp salt

1 cup cheddar cheese

2 sticks cold, cubed butter

1 cup buttermilk

Preheat oven to 400.  Mix all the dry ingredients.  Work the butter into the flour mixture with a pastry blender until it resembles pea-sized crumbs.  Add the buttermilk and stir until dough comes together. 

Chill for one hour, then roll into 3/4" thickness and cut out desired shapes.  Bake on a cookie sheet for 15 minutes or until lightly browned.
