2 cups all−purpose flour 2 tablespoons granulated sugar 1 tablespoon baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 1 1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded Cheddar cheese 1 egg 1/2 cup sour cream 1/4 cup vegetable oil 3 tablespoons milk

In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda; stir in cheese.
