Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2

Combine flour, baking powder, salt, and rosemary in a large bowl.

3

Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or fingertips until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

4

Add buttermilk and stir just until dough forms. If using cheese, fold it in gently.

5

Turn out onto a floured surface. Shape into a 1-inch thick round and cut into 8 wedges.

6

Transfer wedges to the baking sheet and brush tops with a little buttermilk.
