Prep: 15 mins
Cook: 15 mins
Total: 30 mins
Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 425F. Line a
sheet pan with parchment paper or spray a sheet pan with cooking spray.
Measure 1 cup of buttermilk and place the cup in the freezer while
prepping other ingredients (you want it to be in the freezer about 10 minutes).
Place butter in a microwave-safe bowl, cover with a paper towel over
the top and heat on high for 30 seconds. If not completely melted,
return to microwave for 10-second intervals till melted. Set aside to
cool a bit while prepping other ingredients.
Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt in large
bowl. Add cheese and chives. Stir to combine.
After buttermilk has been chilled in the freezer for 10 minutes,
combine it with the melted butter. Stir with a fork until butter
forms small clumps or globules.
Add buttermilk mixture to dry ingredients and stir with a sturdy
spatula just until all flour is incorporated and batter pulls away
from sides of the bowl. The dough should be stiff and not super wet.
If the dough is wet, add more flour 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring
to combine, until dough is fairly stiff.
Generously spread flour over your work surface. Dump biscuit dough
from bowl onto prepared work surface and turn to coat all surfaces
with flour. Knead on counter 5-6 times (about 20 to 30 seconds). Flip
over on work surface to coat with flour then pat into a 6" square. It
should be 1 1/2-2" in height.
Cut as many biscuits as you can with a biscuit cutter (this will
depend on what size cutter you use). Place biscuits on the prepared
sheet pan. Knead scraps a few times till they hold together, then pat
into a small circle and cut more biscuits. Transfer last biscuits to
the sheet pan, spacing about 1 1/2" apart.
Place in oven and bake until tops are a medium golden brown and
crisp, 10 to 15 minutes. Start checking after about 8 minutes, as
every oven is different.
Melt remaining tablespoon of butter and brush tops of hot biscuits
with melted butter. Sprinkle with more finely sliced fresh chives.
Serve and enjoy!
