Cheddar-Chive Biscuits

By Joelene

Ingredients

• 2 c. self-rising flour
• 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
• 1/4 tsp. Pepper
• 1/4 c. heavy cream
• 1 tbsp. heavy cream
• 1/2 c. lemon-lime soda (such as Sprite)
• 3 oz. extra-sharp Cheddar cheese
• 1/4 c. chopped fresh chives

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Make a well in the center. Using a fork, gently stir in the soda and 1/2 cup heavy cream, mixing just until incorporated (do not overmix). Fold in the chives and all but 1/2 cup of the Cheddar.
Drop spoonfuls of the batter (you should have 8 total) onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush with the remaining tablespoon heavy cream, sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar, and bake until puffed and golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes. Serve the biscuits warm or at room temperature.
