Ingredients:
1-1/2
cups all-purpose flour

1/4
cup grated Parmesan cheese

2
tablespoons yellow cornmeal

2
teaspoons baking powder

1/2
teaspoon salt

1/4
cup butter

2
eggs

1/2
cup whipping cream

3/4
teaspoon dried basil

3/4

Additional grated Parmesan cheese (optional)



Preparation:
1.
Preheat oven to 425°F. Grease large baking sheet; set aside.

Combine flour, 1/4 cup cheese, cornmeal, baking powder and salt in large bowl. Cut in butter with pastry blender or two knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

3.
Beat eggs in medium bowl. Add cream, basil, oregano and garlic powder; beat until well blended. Add cream mixture to flour mixture; stir until mixture forms soft dough that clings together and forms ball.

Starting from center, score top of dough into 8 wedges with tip of sharp knife. (Do not cut completely through dough.) Sprinkle with additional cheese, if desired.
