Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.75 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
- 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.75 cup whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry blender or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, chopped chives, and crushed red pepper flakes, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Pour in the milk and optional hot sauce, and gently stir until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch-thick rectangle.
Use a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out rounds, and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Gather any remaining dough scraps, reshape, and cut out additional biscuits until no dough remains.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before serving warm.
