Cheddar Chive Biscuits

Steps

• Prep: Heat the oven to 220°C (425°F) and line a baking sheet.
• Dough: Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together, then cut in the cold butter until it looks like coarse crumbs.
• Dough: Toss in the cold shredded cheddar and chives, then stir in the buttermilk just until combined into a shaggy dough.
• Shape: Drop rough mounds onto the sheet, spaced apart.

  Tip: Keep the cheese cold right up until it goes in the oven — melted or softened cheese blends into the dough instead of staying in distinct pockets.

• Bake: Bake until golden and the cheese on top is bubbling and lightly browned.
