We really likes these. Maker 12.

UPDATE: I made these again and they turned out so, so good. I made them in the food processor until the step where you add the dill, cheese and 1 T flour. I just kneaded it in. Not sure if it turned out so much better because of food processor, but they were so light and fluffy. Yum! Had with a spaghetti meal.
Ingredients
- 4 cups plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, divided
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 3/4 pound cold unsalted butter, diced
- 4 extra-large eggs, beaten lightly
- 1 cup cold heavy cream
- 1/2 pound extra-sharp yellow Cheddar, small-diced
- 1/2 - 1 cup minced fresh dill (we didn't like it with 1 cup - 1/2 cup worked better for us. I just got some fresh dill from WinCo - 1/2 cup was one package - cut with scissors until stems)
- 1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water or milk, for egg wash
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Combine 4 cups of flour, the baking powder, and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Add the butter and mix on low speed until the butter is in pea-sized pieces. Mix the eggsand heavy cream and quickly add them to the flour-and-butter mixture. Combine until just blended. Toss together the Cheddar, dill, and 1 tablespoon of flour and add them to the dough. Mix until they are almost incorporated.
Dump the dough onto a well-floured surface and knead it for 1 minute, until the Cheddar and dill are well distributed. Roll the dough 3/4-inch thick. Cut into 4-inch squares and then in half diagonally to make triangles. Brush the tops with egg wash. Bake on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for 20 to 25 minutes, until the outside is crusty and the inside is fully baked.
