Ingredients

  • 2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp Baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp Baking soda
  • 3/4 tsp Kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup Cold unsalted butter grated then frozen
  • 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese finely shredded
  • 1/4 cup Fresh chives finely chopped
  • 1 cup Buttermilk cold - plus a little more for brushing the tops

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Or you can bake them in a cast-iron skillet.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Stir in the frozen grated butter, making sure all those flakes of butter are coated in flour.
  • Add the shredded cheese and chives, toss to combine.
  • Make a well in the center, add the buttermilk. Stir just until combined.
  • Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface. Keep a small pile of extra flour on hand to add to your surface or your hands as needed.
  • Flour your hands and bring the dough together, then lightly fold it in half in a gentle kneading motion. Do this about 5-6 times until your dough comes together and is beginning to feel smooth. Pat dough out to about 1 1/2 inch thick.
  • Using a floured cutter, cut the dough into desired sizes. DO NOT twist the cutter. (I use a 3-inch biscuit cutter.) Place the cut biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, close together but not touching.
  • Brush tops with a little buttermilk. Or you can also brush them with melted butter after baking.
  • Bake for about 12-15 minutes,until they have risen nice and tall and are golden brown on top.
