2 1/2 Cup Flour

2T Baking Powder

1/2t Salt

1T Sugar

3/4 Cup Butter, softened

1 Cup Cheddar, Cubed

4T Chive, fresh & chopped

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350˚/180˚.

• In a large bowl add the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Mix well.

• Cut butter into chunks. Add the butter into flour bowl. With just your fingertips rub butter and flour until there are small pieces.

• Then add the cheese and chives, mix well.

• Pour the buttermilk into the mixture. With a fork fluff and fold until everything comes together, if dry add a Tablespoon of buttermilk at a time until a dough forms.

• On a floured table dump the dough and flatten with your hands, about 1 inch thick. Take one side and fold the dough to the other side. Flatten again, turn the dough 180˚. Fold again. Repeat this process one more time, 3 folds total.

• Flatten out to about 3/4" thick. with a round cookie cutter (or a mason jar ring, a cup, etc.) cut out biscuits. Brush tops with melted butter.

• Place all the biscuits on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for about 15 minutes or until golden brown. Eat right away with butter!

• NOTE: If I have room in my freezer, I like to make biscuits in large quantities and freeze them for different occasions. I cut out all the biscuits (uncooked biscuits), place them on a floured cookie sheet or plate and put in the freezer for 10 minutes. Then once they are frozen I place them in a baggie for later use.
