Ingredients

  • 2 cups All-purpose Flour
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon Sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoons Salt
  • 1-1/4 cup Cheddar Cheese Cheddar
  • 1/4 cups Chives
  • 8 Tablespoons Butter
  • 1 cup Buttermilk

Method

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt. Stir in cheese and chives.
  • Cut in butter with a pastry cutter or 2 forks. Slowly stir in buttermilk. Dough is ready when it begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl. Do not over mix. You want the dough to be stiff.
  • Flour a cutting board and dump biscuit dough from bowl onto it. Knead batter for several minutes.
  • Work the dough into a square that is about 11/2 inch thick. Use a round cookie cutter cut as many biscuits as you can.
  • Place the biscuits on the sheet pan. Place in oven and bake until tops are golden brown and crisp, about 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with more finely sliced fresh chives to garnish if desired.
