By charlotteh371

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 + 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup cold butter, cubed
• 1/2 cup whole milk or heavy cream
• 1/2 cup full-fat sour cream
• 2 rounded tablespoons snipped chives or green onions
• 1 - 2 tablespoons melted butter, for brushing over tops

Preparation

Step 1

1.Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
2.In a large mixing bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3.Cut the butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry blender or two knives scissor fashion until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4.In a small bowl stir together milk and sour cream until mixture is almost smooth then stir in the chives.
5.Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the milk mixture. Using a wooden spoon stir just until the dough sticks together.
6.Dump the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, flour your hands and knead about 10 times or until dough holds together.
7.Pat or roll out dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut with a biscuit cutter (I used a 2") or round cookie cutter and place on a parchment lined or non-stick baking sheet.
8.Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
