Cheddar Chive Biscuits

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450F.

Step 2

Mix all of the dry ingredients well.

Step 3

Moving quickly, cube the butter and then smash the pieces between your fingertips creating small pea or cornflake-shaped pieces.

Step 4

Pour in the milk and begin incorporating it with a spoon until the dough almost comes together.

Step 5

Flour your work surface and hands and begin working the dough just until it comes together, about one minute.

Step 6

Dust your rolling pin with flour and flatten the dough to about 1 inch.

Step 7

Cut them into 2-3 inch rounds and place on a baking sheet (the spacing doesn't matter)

Step 8

Bake for 15 minutes at 450F.

Step 9

Broil or toast them for 1-2 minutes at the end for a nice golden brown top.

Step 10

Brush with melted butter, or melted garlic butter (this is my favorite part!!).

Step 11

Serve and enjoy!
