Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 8 tablespoons butter (cold, cut into pieces)
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons buttermilk
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup chives, chopped
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
How to Make
-
Step 1: Heat oven to 450 degrees F.
-
Step 2: In a bowl whisk together the dry ingredients (flour - baking soda); using a pastry cutter or two knives work the butter into the mixture until the butter is the size of small peas.
-
Step 3: Add the buttermilk, cheese and chives to the mixture, stirring with a fork to combine and to form a loose dough.
-
Step 4: Turn dough out onto a floured surface and pate into a 6"x9" rectangle; fold in thirds and pat into a 6 x 9" rectangle again.
-
Step 5: Dip edges of a 3" round biscuit cutter (we use a coffee cup) into flour and punch out the biscuits (you should get 6 or more depending on the size of the cutter/coffee cup). Scrap leftover dough and pat together to cut out a few more biscuits, if you wish).
-
Step 6: Transfer biscuits to a parchment covered cookie sheet.Brush tops with cream.
-
Step 7: Bake until browned (14-16 minutes).
