Ingredients
-
-1 cup white flour
- 3/4 cup whole wheat flour

- 3 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup fat free milk
- 1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or any other mix in you choose)

6. Divide dough into 16 pieces. Form each piece into a ball with your hands. Place dough ball onto a baking sheet sprayed with non-stick cooking spray and lightly press down on top of the dough with the palm of your hand to flatten slightly. Repeat with all sixteen pieces.
7. Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes or until puffed up, lightly browned on the top and crunchy on the bottom.
