Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 2 tsp granulated sugar
- 1 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, cold, cubed
- 5 oz (1 1/4 cups) grated cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp minced chives
- 1 1/4 cups cold buttermilk
- 1 egg beaten with 1 tsp water, for egg wash
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Pull out a 10-inch cast-iron pan or line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and baking soda.
- Add butter and toss to coat. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the flour mixture until the pieces are pea-sized or smaller. Put bowl in the freezer for 5 minutes to chill.
- Add cheese and chives and toss to combine. Pour in buttermilk and stir until dough just comes together. Knead a few times in the bowl then transfer to a lightly floured surface.
- Pat the dough into a generous 1 1/4-inch thick slab. Dust a 2-inch round cookie cutter with flour and cut dough into 8- 10 biscuits, re-rolling scraps and flouring the cookie cutter as needed. Place on a large plate and chill in the freezer for 15 minutes.
- Arrange cold biscuits in the 10-inch cast iron skillet or close together (touching!) on prepared baking sheet. Brush tops all over with egg wash and bake for 22- 25 minutes, or until deep golden brown and cooked through.
