Directions:

  • Preheat oven 375℉
  • Butter 2 loaf pans
  • Mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, cheese, spices, and rosemary
  • In another bowl, mix all the wet ingredients until well blended.
  • Just like you would bread, make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into the well and stir until moistened and slightly lumpy.
  • Pour half of the batter into one pan and the other into the second.

It’s great with some marionberry jam and hot chocolate or tea.
