Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 1 cup Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Scallions (thinly sliced)
- 2 Large eggs
- 0.75 cups Whole milk
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
Add the cubed cold butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and sliced scallions until evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vegetable oil until combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir just until a thick batter forms. Do not overmix; it's fine if there are a few lumps.
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy with butter, soup, or on its own!
