Cheese and chive biscuits

Cheese and chive biscuits are a delightful and savory treat perfect for any time of day. Made with simple ingredients like cheddar cheese, fresh chives, and butter, they make for an easy yet delicious snack or side dish. Follow this guide to create these flavorful and fluffy biscuits that everyone will love.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter
110g
1.50 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
190g
1 cup cheddar cheese
160g
1/2 cup chives
20g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Ingredients:
Measure out all the ingredients to ensure you have everything ready to use. Grate the cheddar cheese and finely chop the fresh chives.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose white wheat flour with a pinch of salt. Mix well to ensure the salt is evenly distributed.
4. Cut in the Butter:
Add the cold, diced butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. The butter should be pea-sized.
5. Add Cheese and Chives:
Gently fold in the grated cheddar cheese and the finely chopped chives until they are evenly distributed throughout the flour mixture.
6. Form the Dough:
Gradually add a few tablespoons of cold water to the flour mixture, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough starts to come together. Be careful not to overwork the dough; it should be slightly sticky but able to hold its shape.
7. Roll and Cut Biscuits:
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll it out to about 1/2-inch thickness. Use a biscuit cutter or a round glass to cut out biscuits from the dough. Gather the scraps, re-roll, and cut out additional biscuits.
8. Bake:
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each one. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
9. Cool and Serve:
Once baked, remove the biscuits from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm and enjoy!

Tips:

- Ensure your butter is cold when you mix it into the flour. Cold butter creates pockets of steam while baking, resulting in fluffier biscuits.

- Fresh chives provide the best flavor, but if you don't have fresh ones, dried chives can be substituted in a smaller quantity.

- Grate the cheese by hand rather than using pre-shredded cheese for a better texture and stronger flavor.

- Don't overmix the dough. Mix until just combined to keep the biscuits tender.

- Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter before baking for a golden and flavorful finish.

With these easy steps and helpful tips, you can whip up a batch of delicious cheese and chive biscuits that are perfect for any occasion. Their savory taste and fluffy texture make them a crowd-pleaser, whether served fresh out of the oven or as the perfect accompaniment to your favorite meal. Enjoy baking and savoring these delightful biscuits!
