Cheddar and Chive Buttermilk Biscuits
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
- 1 cup buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh chives.
- Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in 1 cup of buttermilk. Use a wooden spoon to stir the mixture until it comes together into a sticky dough.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick round. Use a floured 2 1/2-inch round cutter to cut out biscuits. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Gently re-roll the scraps and continue cutting out biscuits until all the dough is used.
- Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm.
