Description

These Parmesan Cheddar Chive Biscuits are a delightful blend of two cheeses and fresh chives baked into light, fluffy biscuits. Perfect as a savory snack or accompaniment to any meal, they are easy to make and packed with rich flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Butter and Cheese

  • 4 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 4 tbsp chopped chives

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup + 2 tbsp buttermilk

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven and prepare baking sheet: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat to ensure the biscuits do not stick during baking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and freshly ground black pepper. Stir quickly to distribute all ingredients evenly.
  3. Cut butter into dry ingredients: Add the cold cubed unsalted butter to the dry mixture. Using a fork or pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs or a crumbly texture.
  4. Add cheeses and chives: Stir in the shredded cheddar, Parmesan, and chopped chives, mixing evenly throughout the crumbly mixture.
  5. Add buttermilk and form dough: Pour the buttermilk into the bowl and stir everything together until the dough just comes together, being careful not to overmix to maintain tenderness.
  6. Knead the dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. With floured hands, give it a quick knead just until smooth and uniform.
  7. Shape and cut biscuits: Pat the dough into approximately 1-inch thickness. Using a 2 1/2 inch biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits, reshaping and cutting the remaining dough until you have formed 9 biscuits in total.
  8. Bake the biscuits: Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until they have puffed up and turned golden brown on top.
  9. Serve warm: Remove biscuits from the oven and serve warm for the best flavor and texture experience.

Notes

  • The biscuits are packed with two kinds of cheese for enhanced flavor.
  • Use cold unsalted butter for the best flaky texture.
  • Do not overmix the dough to keep biscuits light and fluffy.
  • You can substitute fresh chives with dried chives if needed, using less quantity.
  • Serve warm as a savory snack or side with soups and salads.
