Cheddar-Chive Biscuits

Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 Tbsp. baking powder
• 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
• 1 cup shredded white cheddar cheese (about 4 ounces)
• 3 Tbsp. sliced chives or green onions, plus more for garnish
• 3/4 cup (12 tablespoons) cold salted butter, cubed, plus 2 tablespoons melted butter for brushing
• 1 1/4 cups buttermilk, plus more if necessary

Directions

• 1. 1Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. 2In a food processor, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, cheddar cheese, and chives. Pulse until well combined. Add 12 tablespoons of the butter and pulse until mostly incorporated, but with a few chunks of butter remaining. Pour in the buttermilk while pulsing, stopping when the dough just comes together. (Add a little more buttermilk if the dough is overly dry.) If you do not have a food processor, cut together the dry ingredients with the butter, then stir in the other ingredients.
  3. 3Drop the dough onto a baking sheet in 1/4 cup-portions (bigger if you’d like!) and bake until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes.
  4. 4Brush the biscuits with melted butter and sprinkle with more chives!

Tip: Store baked biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in a 300°F oven for 5 to 8 minutes to refresh and lightly crisp the exterior. Biscuits can also be frozen after baking; wrap tightly and freeze for up to 1 month, then thaw and warm before serving.
