   2      c             all-purpose flour
   1      tbsp          sugar
   1      tbsp          baking powder
     1/2  ts            salt
     1/4  c             unsalted butter
     3/4  c             milk
   1                    egg
   1      c             shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Heat oven to 350 degrees.  Coat inside of 8x4x3-inch loaf pan with
cooking spray.  Stir together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in
medium-size bowl until well blended.  Cut in butter with pastry blender
or two knives held scissors fashion until mixture resembles coarse meal.

Stir together milk and egg in small bowl.  Pour milk mixture all at once
into flour mixture; add cheddar cheese.  Stir gently just until flour is
moistened; do not overmix.  Turn batter into prepared pan, spreading top
level.

Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until browned on top and wooden
pick inserted in center comes out clean.  Remove bread from pan to wire
rack to cool.  If not serving immediately, wrap loaf in plastci wrap and
store at room temperature for up to 3 days.
