By bweber

Ingredients

• 2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
• 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
• 3 tablespoons minced fresh chives
• 1 cup buttermilk

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425°. 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-in. thickness; cut with a floured 2-1/2-in. biscuit cutter. Place 2 in. apart on a greased baking sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
Yield: 10 biscuits.
