Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425º.

In a large bowl, whisk the first five ingredients. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs; stir in cheese and chives. Add buttermilk; stir just until moistened. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead gently 8-10 times.

Pat or roll dough to 3/4" thickness; cut with a floured 2-1/2" biscuit cutter.

Place 2" apart on a greased baking sheet.

Bake 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
