Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

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

Wet Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3/4 cup cold milk or buttermilk

Flavorings

  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
  • 1 small onion or shallot, finely chopped and lightly sautéed

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Finely chop fresh chives and a small onion. Lightly sauté the onion until just translucent to bring out its sweetness without overpowering the biscuits. Grate fresh Parmesan cheese for best flavor.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk thoroughly to distribute the leavening agent and seasoning evenly for a consistent rise and taste.
  3. Cut in the Butter: Incorporate the cold, cubed unsalted butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or fingertips until pea-sized chunks form. These chunks create yummy flaky layers when baked.
  4. Add Cheese, Chives, and Onions: Fold in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese, chopped fresh chives, and sautéed onions gently, ensuring the savory herb and cheese mixture is evenly dispersed throughout the dough.
  5. Add Liquid and Form Dough: Pour in the cold milk or buttermilk and stir just until the dough comes together. Avoid over-mixing to keep the biscuits tender and fluffy.
  6. Shape and Bake: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat into a 1-inch-thick rectangle. Cut biscuits using a biscuit cutter or round glass, place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown on top.

Notes

  • Keep butter cold to create flaky biscuit layers.
  • Handle dough gently to avoid tough biscuits.
  • Use fresh chives and freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor.
  • Preheat oven fully for optimal rise and crisp edges.
  • Brush warm biscuits with melted butter for extra gloss and flavor.
