Serving Size:  8  

     2      cups    all-purpose flour -- unbleached
   1      Tbs.    baking powder
     1/4  cup  onions -- finely chopped
   1      cup     cheddar cheese, low fat -- shredded
    1/2  cup    cured dried beef slices -- cut in small pcs
   1      Tbs.  sugar
   1    cup  fat-free sour cream
     1/4  cup  water  

Stir together the flour, baking powder and sugar; stir in the beef, 1/2 cup of the cheese, and the onion.  Fold in the sour cream and the water until the particles cling together.  Turn out on a lightly floured flat surface, and knead for about one minute.  If the dough is too sticky, add some more flour and work it in.    On a stoneware baking brick sprinkled with cornmeal, pat the dough into a circle about 3/4   inch  thick.  Cut into 8 wedges separating them slightly allowing for room to rise.  Bake in a 400° oven for 20 minutes, or until light brown, then sprinkle with the remaining cheese.  Continue baking until golden brown and cheese has melted...about 5-10 more minutes.  Serve very hot.  

Serving Ideas :  I served this with packaged beef gravy for dipping and a side of noodles & beef gravy.  It was wonderful!
