Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.75 cup buttermilk, cold
• 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped chives, if using, until they are evenly distributed.

Step 5

Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the cold buttermilk. Stir gently until the mixture just comes together, being careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it a few times to bring it together into a coherent mass.

Step 7

Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Use a floured biscuit cutter or a round glass to cut out biscuits, being sure not to twist the cutter as you press down. Gather and re-roll scraps as needed.

Step 8

Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.

Step 10

Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature.
