Ingredients

1 c. all purpose flour
1 c. cake flour
1 Tbsp. baking powder
¾ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. baking soda
1 Tbsp. sugar
2 Tbsp. total, fresh thyme and rosemary, finely chopped (or substitute your favorite herbs)
4 oz. Cabot extra-sharp cheddar cheese, grated
3 oz. unsalted butter, cubed
1 c. buttermilk

Instructions

In large bowl, sift both flours with powder, salt, soda and sugar. Add herbs and combine.

Add grated cheese and toss well with flour mixture.

With fingertips, incorporate butter until mixture resembles coarse meal.

With fork, add buttermilk slowly. Knead gently just to combine. Do not over-mix. Chill at least 30 min.

Dust dough lightly with flour, and roll to an 8-inch circle about one inch thick. Cut dough with 3-inch round cutter (or desired size).

Bake at 400 degrees for 15-16 minutes on Silpat or a parchment-lined cookie sheet.

Remove from oven and while still warm, brush tops with small amount of melted butter and sprinkle with kosher salt.

UCSF Researchers say products with added sugar should be controlled just like alcohol or tobacco. They are advocating that the government take control of the situation because the citizens are unable to do so. The solutions they suggest include doubling the price of sodas via a sugar tax, put age restrictions on purchase of products containing added sugar and legislate which stores are allowed to sell products with added sugar.
