Description

Salty, flaky biscuits with fresh chives. Perfect for spring, or make them into ham and cheese sandwiches!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups (473 ml) flour
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
  • 1 stick (113 g) cold butter, cubed
  • 1 cups (237 ml) milk
  • Parchment paper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and chives.
  3. Cut in the butter using a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse pea-sized crumbs.
  4. Create a well in the middle, add milk gradually, mixing and pouring alternately.
  5. Knead the dough lightly until it comes together.
  6. On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1-1 1/2 inches thick.
  7. Cut biscuits into circles.
  8. 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.

Notes

  • For extra flaky biscuits, use very cold butter and handle the dough gently.
  • If you don’t have fresh chives, substitute 1 teaspoon of dried chives.
  • Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or freeze for longer storage.
