Cheddar-Chive-Cream Biscuits


Yield: 22 biscuits Prep 20 mins Start to Finish 40 mins
Cheddar-Chive-Cream Biscuits

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.
