Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the flour and baking powder.

Notes
- You could use cheddar cheese, swiss cheese or a mix of different cheese that you have leftover.
- I do not add any salt to the dough to keep the sodium low, but you could add about half a teaspoon of salt and some black pepper for more flavor.
- For babies under 12 months, you could use a mix of mozzarella and swiss cheese that are low in sodium.
