Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened (for chive butter)
- Salt and pepper to taste (for chive butter)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Cut in Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add Cheese and Buttermilk: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese. Then, pour in the buttermilk and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Shape Biscuits: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together. Pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Use a biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
- Prepare Chive Butter: While the biscuits are baking, mix the softened butter with chopped chives, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve: Once the biscuits are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving with the chive butter.
