1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour (or 1/2 all-purpose and 1/2 whole wheat)
2 tsp. ground mustard powder
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. brown sugar
1 clove garlic, chopped or mashed fine
1/4 cup unsalted butter
6-8 oz. sharp cheddar cheese, cut in 1/2 inch cubes
4 Tbsp. yogurt or sour cream
1 large egg
(Optional) Finely chopped, fresh parsley (or a pinch of dried dill would be nice, too)
Heat the oven to 400° F. and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place all the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl and add the garlic and butter. Rub everything together with a fork or pastry blender until the butter has almost disappeared. Add the cheese and mix thoroughly. (Add chopped parsley, if using)
In a small bowl, beat the egg with the yogurt (or sour cream) then stir this mixture though the flour mixture to form a soft dough. Pat the dough out on a floured surface to about 3/4-inch thick and cut 5 - 6 circles from it and lay these on the baking tray. OR, pat the dough out on the baking tray into a circle about 3/4-inch thick and cut it into eighths, pushed a bit apart in between.
Bake for about 25 minutes until golden on top. Leave on the baking tray to cool slightly before eating.
