List of Ingredients




(Yield: 4 loaves, each 7-3/8 x 3-5/8 x 2-1/4 inches)

4 cups sifted all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1-1/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter
4 cups coarsely shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon minced fresh dill or 1 teaspoon dill weed
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups milk


Recipe



~ Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease well 4 loaf pans and set aside.

~ Sift together into a large mixing bowl the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until crumbly ~ about the texture of uncooked oatmeal. Stir in the shredded cheese and the dill. Combine the eggs and milk, then add all at once, stirring just enough to moisten the dry ingredients uniformly.

~ Divide batter among the well-greased loaf pans and bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until loaves are nicely browned and sound hollow when thumped. Cool loaves upright in their pans on wire racks for 10 minutes, then invert and remove from pans. Slice fairly thick (about 1/2 inch) and serve.

~ Note: These loaves freeze well. Simply wrap snugly in aluminum foil or plastic food wrap and place in the freezer. Bring to room temperature before slicing.
