Ingredients

- organic lemon
- 0
- 1 cup
- organic milk
- 250 mL
- 2 1/4 cups
- all-purpose flour (approx.)
- 560 mL
- 1 cup
- shredded old Cheddar cheese
- 250 mL
- 1/4 cup
- assorted chopped fresh herbs such as sage, chives, tarragon or oregano
- 60 mL
- 3/4 tsp
- each baking powder and baking soda
- 4 mL

- salt
- 2 mL
- 2 tbsp
- unsalted butter, cold, finely cubed

Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Extract 1 tbsp (15 mL) juice from the lemon. Stir lemon juice into milk and let stand 5 min. to sour milk. Meanwhile, blend flour with cheese, herbs, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl until well combined.
Step 2
Cut in butter until crumbly using a pastry blender or two knives. Add the milk mixture and stir just until a ragged dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead lightly, about 10 times, or until no dry patches remain.
Step 3
Transfer dough to a parchment-paper-lined baking sheet and pat into a 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick disk. Dust the top of the loaf with a little additional flour and score with a large “X” (about 1/4 inch/5 mm deep) using a sharp paring knife. Bake for 30 min. or until golden and a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean. Transfer to a rack; cool before slicing.
