Signs of spring are popping up we’re coaxed outside by the sunshine and warm air, finding reasons to linger in the gardens, take a walk or just find a sunny spot to sit and enjoy it. The salty, flaky biscuit is a perfect canvas for the tangy onion flavor. I have big plans for ham and cheese sandwiches using these!
Flaky Chive Biscuits
Description
Welcome spring with the salty, flaky biscuit that is a perfect canvas for the tangy onion flavor. Easy to turn into ham and cheese sandwiches. Adapted from Paula Deen.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
- 1 stick cold butter, cubed
- 3/4 cup + 1 Tablespoon milk
- Parchment paper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- In a bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and chives.
- Cut in the butter using a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse pea-sized crumbs.
- Create a little well in the middle, add milk a little at a time, alternating mixing and pouring.
- Knead the dough lightly with your hands until it just comes together.
- On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1 inch- 1 1/2inch thickness (bigger is better!).
- Cut biscuits out into circles.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, or grease a skillet. Place the biscuits on the pan and bake for 12 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
