Bleu Cheese & Chive drop biscuits

Ingredients

• 2 cups All-Purpose Flour (unbleached, sifted)
• 1 tablespoon Baking Powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
• 1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt
• 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter (cold, cut into small cubes)
• 3/4 cup Buttermilk (room temperature)
• 1 Large Egg (beaten)
• 1/2 cup Blue Cheese (crumbled)

Instructions

1. Combine Dry Ingredients

   In a large mixing bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly distributed.

   Time: PT3M

2. Cut in Butter

   Add the cold butter cubes to the dry mixture. Using a pastry cutter or two forks, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea‑size pieces.

   Time: PT4M

3. Add Wet Ingredients

   In a separate small bowl whisk the buttermilk with the beaten egg. Pour the liquid into the flour‑butter mixture and stir just until a soft dough forms; it will be slightly sticky.

   Gently fold the crumbled blue cheese and chopped chives into the dough until evenly distributed.
