Cheddar Chive Biscuits
These Cheddar Chive Biscuits are the perfect accompaniment for soup or as a side dish to mop up juices from a stew or casserole. Is there a more classic combination than cheese and chives? I don’t think so, and once you taste these biscuits, I know you’ll agree!
Start by mixing dry ingredients together and cut in butter cubes. Add the key ingredients: Cheddar and chives and drizzle over buttermilk. Bring the dough together. Fold to create layers before cutting out the biscuits using a circular cookie cutter. When cutting out the biscuits, try to simply press the cutter straight down and lift it straight up – don’t twist the cutter or you might ruin the biscuit layers. Bake in the oven and serve with your favorite soup or stew.
To make Cheddar Chive Biscuits, you will need the following ingredients:
