Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 0.75 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
• 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 0.75 cup whole milk
• 0.5 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

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 dry ingredients. Using a pastry blender or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, chopped chives, and crushed red pepper flakes, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

Step 5

Pour in the milk and optional hot sauce, and gently stir until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch-thick rectangle.

Step 7

Use a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out rounds, and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

Step 8

Gather any remaining dough scraps, reshape, and cut out additional biscuits until no dough remains.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.

Step 10

Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before serving warm.
