Cheese and Chive biscuits

By cooksalot

Ingredients

• 6 cups All-purpose Flour
• 1/4 cup Baking Powder
• 3/4 teaspoons Salt
• 8 ounces, weight White Cheddar Cheese, Grated
• 1/3 cup Sliced Chives (or Green Onions)
• 1-1/2 cup Cold Salted Butter, Cut Into Small Pieces, Plus More For Brushing
• 2-1/2 cups buttermilk

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425 F.
Combine flour, baking powder, salt, cheese, and chives in a food processor. Pulse until everything is mixed together. Add butter and pulse until mostly incorporated, but with a few remaining chunks of butter. Pour in buttermilk while pulsing, stopping just when the dough comes together. (Add a little more buttermilk if dough is overly dry.)
Drop dough onto a baking sheet in 1/4 cup portions (bigger if you'd like!) and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with more chives!
If you do not have a food processor, cut together the dry ingredients with the butter, then stir in the other ingredients.
Note: Recipe can easily be halved.
