Cheddar and Chive Biscuits

Cheddar and Chive Biscuits are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a side dish for any meal. These biscuits are made with a combination of cheddar cheese and fresh chives, which give them a savory and slightly tangy flavor that is sure to please your taste buds.

To make these biscuits, you will need the following ingredients:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
- 3/4 cup milk

To start, preheat your oven to 425 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chilled butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Next, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped chives. Gradually add the milk, stirring until the dough comes together and forms a ball. Be careful not to overmix the dough, as this can result in tough biscuits.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently for a few seconds. Roll the dough out to a thickness of about 1 inch and use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits. Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
These Cheddar and Chive Biscuits are best served warm, straight from the oven. They have a crispy exterior and a soft, fluffy interior, with a delicious cheesy and herbaceous flavor. These biscuits are perfect for serving alongside scrambled eggs, bacon, or as a side dish for any meal.
