Cheddar Biscuits with Chive Butter image

Chives are the first herb to come up in the spring, and their delicate flavor pairs well with these biscuits. A little bit of Parmesan cheese makes the flavor of Cheddar cheese really pop; try it next time you make mac and cheese!

Time 35m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

¼ cup butter, softened
3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons cold butter
1 ¼ cups shredded extra-sharp Cheddar cheese
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup buttermilk
1 egg, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • Beat softened butter, chives, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl until well-combined and smooth.
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Stir flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl. Cut cold butter into flour mixture with a pastry blender or two knives until mixture resembles oatmeal. Add Cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese; toss to coat. Stir buttermilk into flour mixture until dough is just-moistened.
  • Turn dough out onto a floured work surface and gently knead until dough comes together, about 6 to 8 times. Roll dough into a 9-inch square (1/2 inch thick) with a floured rolling pin. Cut dough lengthwise into 4 strips and crosswise into 6 strips. Place biscuits on a baking sheet and brush tops with beaten egg.
  • Bake biscuits in the preheated oven until golden, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a rack and cool until warm, at least 15 minutes. Serve with chive butter.

I'm not a big fan of cheddar cheese, so I used a different type of cheese. The biscuits still turned out great!

I tried this recipe and the biscuits turned out a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less salt next time.

I'm not usually a fan of biscuits, but these cheddar biscuits with chive butter changed my mind. They were so light and fluffy, with a perfect balance of cheddar cheese and chive flavors. I'll definitely be making these again!

These biscuits were a hit at my last dinner party! I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out perfectly golden brown and flaky. The chive butter was the perfect finishing touch, adding a delightful savory flavor.
