from Barb at the blog A Chelsea Morning
 
BASIC MIX (place in a clear plastic bag):
2 c. all-purpose flour
1 tbsp. sugar
1 tbsp. dried cilantro or parsley
1 tbsp. dried rosemary
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt

(BASIC MIX may be stored in re-sealable plastic bag or container for up to a month.)

INSTRUCTIONS (write on a recipe card and attach to mix):
One package Basic Mix
1/4 c. butter
4 oz. white cheddar cheese, shredded
3/4 c. milk
1 egg, slightly beaten

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease an 8x4x2-in. loaf pan. Place Basic Mix in a bowl. With a pastry blender, cut in the butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in cheese. Combine milk and egg in a small bowl. Add to crumb mixture all at once. Stir quickly with a fork to moisten. Spread in prepared pan. Bake 45 mins. or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 10 mins. Turn loaf out onto wire rack; cool completely. Makes 12 servings.
