Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cups Low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.75 cups Low-fat buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Chopped chives
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped chives until evenly distributed throughout the flour mixture.
Pour in the low-fat buttermilk and olive oil, mixing gently with a fork until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix, as this will result in tougher biscuits.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently pat it into a disc about 1-inch thick.
Use a floured biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out biscuits, placing them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather any scraps, reshape, and cut out more biscuits until all the dough is used.
Place the biscuits on the baking sheet, leaving about an inch of space between each.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.
