Cheddar Chive Drop Biscuits Recipe

Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time5 minutes
Total Time15 minutes
Servings: 12 biscuits

Ingredients

  • 2 Cups of all purpose flour
  • 4 ½ Teaspoons of baking powder
  • ½ Teaspoon of salt
  • 6 Tablespoons of cold butter cubed
  • 1 Cup of cheddar cheese sharp shredded
  • 4 Tablespoons of minced chives
  • 1 Cup of buttermilk

Optional:

  • Melted butter

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit
  • Make the biscuit dough: Get out a large bowl and add the flour, baking powder and salt to it. Whisk these ingredients together. Then add the cubes of butter and use either a pastry cutter or two knives to break up the butter into pea-sized chunks. Once you’ve done that add the chives and cheddar cheese. Use a spoon to incorporate these ingredients into the mixture. Finally, add the cup of buttermilk and use that same spoon to mix it in. Make sure to not over mix.
  • Separate the dough into biscuits: Use a ¼ measuring cup and scoop out some of the biscuit dough. Then use a butter knife to separate the dough from the measuring cup. Flip this dough out onto a baking sheet that has been covered with either parchment paper or a silicone mat. Continue doing this until you have used up all of the dough.
  • Bake em’: Add these biscuits to your oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until they have become golden brown. Then take them out and let them rest for about 5 to 10 minutes
  • Eat these biscuits as is, or make them better by spreading a little bit of melted butter over their tops. Enjoy!
