Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.75 cup buttermilk, cold
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped chives, if using, until they are evenly distributed.
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the cold buttermilk. Stir gently until the mixture just comes together, being careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it a few times to bring it together into a coherent mass.
Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Use a floured biscuit cutter or a round glass to cut out biscuits, being sure not to twist the cutter as you press down. Gather and re-roll scraps as needed.
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature.
