How to Make Chive & Cheddar Biscuits!

Ingredients

• 2 cups All-Purpose Flour (sifted)
• 1 tablespoon Granulated Sugar (just a touch for moisture)
• 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking Soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted Butter (cold, grated)
• 2 cups Sharp Cheddar Cheese (shredded; older cheddar works best)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh Chives (finely chopped; green onions can substitute)
• 1 cup Buttermilk (cold; can substitute milk + 1 tbsp lemon juice or white vinegar)
• 1 Egg (large, for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon Water (for egg wash)

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven

   Set the oven to 400°F (200°C) and let it fully preheat.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: 400°F

2. Combine Dry Ingredients

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

   Time: PT5M

3. Grate Cold Butter

   Using the large‑hole side of a box grater, grate the cold butter directly into the flour mixture, then use a pastry blender to break the pieces into pea‑size bits, coating them with flour.

   Time: PT5M

4. Add Cheese and Chives

   Stir in the shredded cheddar and chopped chives until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

   Time: PT3M

5. Incorporate Buttermilk

   Pour the cold buttermilk over the mixture and gently stir with a rubber spatula until the dough just comes together; it will look slightly shaggy.

   Time: PT3M

6. Bring Dough Together

   Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and fold it a few times by hand just until it forms a cohesive ball.

   Time: PT2M

7. Portion Biscuits

   Using a #20 ice‑cream scoop, drop rounded mounds onto a parchment‑lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

   Time: PT5M

8. Egg Wash

   Whisk the egg with the tablespoon of water and brush the tops of the biscuits lightly for a glossy finish.

   Time: PT2M

9. Bake

   Place the sheet in the oven and bake for 18‑20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and have risen.

   Time: PT20M

   Temperature: 400°F

10. Cool Slightly

    Remove the biscuits from the oven and transfer to a cooling rack; serve warm or let cool completely before storing.

    Time: PT5M
