Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Fat and Dairy

  • 8 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
  • 3/4 cup cold buttermilk

Flavorings

  • 1/4 cup freshly chopped fresh chives
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure even baking and easy cleanup.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents throughout the dough.
  3. Cut in the Butter: Add the cold unsalted butter cubes to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits, essential for flaky layers.
  4. Add Parmesan and Chives: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and freshly chopped chives, distributing them evenly to build the biscuits’ signature cheesy and herby flavor.
  5. Incorporate Buttermilk: Pour in the cold buttermilk and gently fold the mixture just until it comes together into a soft dough. Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits tender.
  6. Shape and Cut: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Fold it in thirds and pat again to create layers, then use a biscuit cutter to stamp out rounds.
  7. Bake to Perfection: Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and puffed up. Serve warm for best taste.

Notes

  • Keep ingredients cold to ensure flaky biscuit layers.
  • Do not overmix the dough to avoid tough biscuits.
  • Use fresh chives for the brightest flavor.
  • Press the dough gently instead of rolling to maintain layers.
  • Bake the shaped biscuits immediately for best rise and texture.
  • Biscuits can be frozen unbaked and baked directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes of baking time.
  • Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes to retain crispness.
