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
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- 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 well in the middle, add milk gradually, mixing and pouring alternately.
- Knead the dough lightly until it comes together.
- On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1-1 1/2 inches thick.
- Cut biscuits 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.
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.
