Oat Biscuits With Cheddar & Chives

By PKMom

Ingredients

• 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
• 2/3 cup Quick Oats, plus a bit more for dusting biscuit tops
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp Ground Cayenne Pepper
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh Chives
• 2/3 cup shredded Old Cheddar Cheese, loosely packed
• 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, in small pieces
• 2/3 cup buttermilk, plus a bit more for brushing biscuit tops

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Combine flour, oats, salt, cayenne pepper, sugar and baking powder in a bowl and mix well. Add chives and cheddar and toss until evenly distributed.

With two knives or cool fingertips, mix in butter lightly until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add buttermilk and mix just until combined.

Turn mixture out onto a floured countertop and form into a disc 1/2 in. (1 cm) thick. Brush with a bit of buttermilk and dust with oats. Cut into 8 wedges, transfer to a parchment paper-line baking sheet and bake for 15 to 20 min. or until just golden.
