By ctozzi

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup 2% milk
• 3 tablespoons beaten egg, divided
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 6 tablespoons cold butter, cubed
• 2 tablespoons minced chives
• 1 teaspoon water
• 1 tablespoon shredded Parmesan cheese

Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine milk and 2 tablespoons egg; set aside. In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt and pepper. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk mixture just until moistened. Stir in chives. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead 8-10 times.

Pat or roll out to 1/2-in. thickness; cut with a floured 2-1/2-in. biscuit cutter. Place 2 in. apart on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Combine remaining egg and water; brush over biscuits. Sprinkle with cheese.

Bake at 425° for 8-12 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
