By commercecook

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 3 tablespoons vegetable shortening
• 1/3 cup sharp Cheddar, shredded
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.
Cut in the shortening with a pastry blender or two knives until pea-sized. Mix in the cheese, chives and parsley, then stir in the buttermilk.
Knead the dough on a floured surface just to incorporate, then shape into a 6 inch square, 1 inch thick. Cut into 12 pieces and arrange on the prepared baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart. Brush with butter. Bake 15 minutes or until golden.
