Cheddar-Chive-Cream Biscuits
Makes: 22 biscuits
Prep: 20 minutes
Start to Finish: 40 minutes
 

Ingredients

  • 4  cups all-purpose flour, plus additional for kneading
  • 2  tablespoons baking powder
  • 1-1/4  tablespoons salt
  • 1  stick (1/2 cup) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 2  cups (6 oz.) grated cheddar
  • 1/2  cup chopped fresh chives
  • 2  cups heavy cream, plus additional for brushing biscuits

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degree F and arrange rack in center. Lightly grease 2 large cookie sheets.

2. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Add butter and, using fingertips, rub into flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Using a fork, stir in cheddar and chives until combined well. Using fork, stir in cream. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead about 8 times, until it just holds together. Pat into a 1/2-inch-thick round, 12 inches in diameter. Using a 2-1/2-inch biscuit or flower cookie cutter, cut out shapes. Repeat, reusing scraps, to make a total of 22 biscuits.

3. Arrange biscuits 1 inch apart on prepared cookie sheets, brush tops with cream and bake until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer biscuits on sheets to a rack and cool 5 minutes. Using a metal spatula, transfer biscuits to rack and cool to lukewarm. Serve warm or at room temperature. Makes 22 biscuits.
