Recipe Summary Cheddar Biscuits With Chive Butter

Chives are the first herb to come up in the spring, and their delicate flavor pairs well with these biscuits. A little bit of Parmesan cheese makes the flavor of Cheddar cheese really pop; try it next time you make mac and cheese!

Ingredients | Chive Pesto Vegan

¼ cup butter, softened

3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

2 cups flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

¼ teaspoon salt

6 tablespoons cold butter

1 ¼ cups shredded extra-sharp Cheddar cheese

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup buttermilk

1 egg, lightly beaten

Directions

Beat softened butter, chives, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl until well-combined and smooth.

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

Stir flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl. Cut cold butter into flour mixture with a pastry blender or two knives until mixture resembles oatmeal. Add Cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese; toss to coat. Stir buttermilk into flour mixture until dough is just-moistened.

Turn dough out onto a floured work surface and gently knead until dough comes together, about 6 to 8 times. Roll dough into a 9-inch square (1/2 inch thick) with a floured rolling pin. Cut dough lengthwise into 4 strips and crosswise into 6 strips. Place biscuits on a baking sheet and brush tops with beaten egg.

Bake biscuits in the preheated oven until golden, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a rack and cool until warm, at least 15 minutes. Serve with chive butter.

You can substitute hot sauce for the cayenne pepper, if desired.

Chive butter can be made 2 days ahead and kept chilled, covered. Bring to room temperature before using.

Biscuit dry mixture (with butter and cheeses, but not buttermilk) can be made 2 days ahead and kept chilled, covered
