Rustic Chive and White Cheddar Biscuits

I'm a big fan of making homemade biscuits from scratch. It may seem like a pain, but the end result is definitely worth it. These Rustic Chive and White Cheddar Biscuits are perfect to try out if you are new to biscuit making. They are simple to put together and since they are a rustic style biscuit, you don't have to worry about them looking perfect. I love the flavor of the sharp white cheddar paired with the fresh chives. It's the perfect blend of flavors for a flaky savory biscuit.

Tips for Making Homemade Biscuits

One of the things that makes a biscuit so irresistible is the texture. Not only do they need to be light and fluffy, but they need to have generous layers. So how do you get that notorious texture? All you need to do is keep your ingredients cold and be careful not to work the dough too much. When biscuits go in the oven and start to bake, the butter begins to steam and create air pockets. This creates those desirable layers and flaky texture. If your ingredients aren't cold or if you overwork with the dough, the butter will already be soft and won't create as much steam. Here are more tips for making homemade biscuits:

• Let your butter, milk, and cheese sit in the fridge while you mix your dry ingredients.
• Work the butter into your dry ingredients with a pastry cutter or fork instead of using your hands.
• Use a wooden spoon or mixing spoon to combine the dough and only use your hands to knead at the end.
• After your dough is rolled and cut, place the biscuits on a sheet pan in the freezer for 5 minutes before baking.

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400° and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
2. In a medium-sized bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt and whisk to combine. Add in cold butter pieces and using a pastry cutter or fork, cut the butter into the flour until they are the size of peas.
3. Add in milk, cheese, and chives. Then using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, gently mix everything together until it starts to form a ball of dough.
4. Turn out dough onto a floured surface and lightly knead the dough, folding it over onto itself about 4-6 times until the dough isn't sticking anymore and keeps it's shape. Shape the dough roughly into a rectangle and using a knife or pastry cutter, cut dough into 8 rectangles.
5. Place cut biscuits onto prepared sheet pan and place in the freezer for 5 minutes.
6. Remove biscuits from the freezer and place in preheated oven. Bake for approximately 15 minutes until biscuits have risen and are golden brown.
