1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1. Preheat oven to 450°F
2. In medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and cheese if using.
3. Cut in the cubed butter with your fingers or by using a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. It should have pea-sized lumps.

5. Place dough on floured surface and roll out to 3/4-inch thickness and cut 2 1/2-3-inch rounds.
6. Place rounds on baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 10 minutes or until tops are golden brown.
