Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Measure out all the ingredients to ensure you have everything ready to use. Grate the cheddar cheese and finely chop the fresh chives.
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.
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.
Gently fold in the grated cheddar cheese and the finely chopped chives until they are evenly distributed throughout the flour mixture.
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.
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.
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.
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!
