Butter Buns (bits)

Yes it is indulgent but once and awhile it is ok.

2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
3 green onions, finely chopped
1 cup milk
1/2 cup butter melted butter

Sift dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Stir in cheese and green onions. Add milk and stir slowly, until dough clings together.

Turn the dough onto a floured board, coat the dough with flour and knead lightly about 10 times. Roll the dough out to about 1/2 inch thick. Cut into 1-inch squares. (I take the pan and line with wax paper and press the dough into it and lift out and cut it into squares)

Pre heat oven to 450°F degrees. Coat all the sides of the squares in the melted butter. Pour rest of the butter over the dough. Bake in a 8×8 square baking pan for 25 to 30 minutes. After baking, flip the little buns over on a plate to coat the top with any remaining butter. Pull apart and serve.

I have added parsley to the dough for more color. I have also use garlic and/or oregano in the butter for Italian nights.

For less guilt use Smart Balance spread.
