Buttermilk Cheddar Chive Biscuits
My savory buttermilk cheddar chive biscuits combine the rich flavor of cheddar cheese with the subtle onion-like taste of fresh chives. They have a tender and flaky texture with a golden brown crust and a soft, airy interior.

Notes
- I recommend leaving the buttermilk and butter in the refrigerator until you’re ready to use them so that they stay cold.
- If you don’t have a food processor, you can also grate the cold butter and use your hands to mix it into the dry ingredients. I prefer to use the food processor because it’s quicker and easier!

Ingredients
- Biscuits
2 cups 2 flour
1 tablespoon 1 baking powder
1 teaspoon 1 salt
1/2 tablespoon 1/2 sugar
8 tablespoons 8 cold butter, unsalted
1 cup 1 cold buttermilk
1 cup 1 cheddar cheese
1/4 cup 1/4 chives, minced
- After Baking
2 tablespoons 2 melted butter
addtional minced chives as desired for topping
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 425 F.
- Add the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt to a food processor and pulse a few times until combined.
- Cut the butter into slices and add to the food processor. Pulse several times until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
- Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and use a spatula to mix in the buttermilk until a shaggy dough forms. Do not overmix.
- Use your hands to fold in the cheddar cheese and chives.
- Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and fold in half 4 times. Use your hands to flatten the dough to about 1″ thick and use a lightly floured biscuit cutter (or a 3″ round cookie cutter) to cut out the biscuits.
- Evenly space the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake until the tops are just starting to turn golden brown- this should take anywhere from 12-16 minutes depending on your oven, so I would watch them!
- After removing from the oven, brush the biscuits with melted butter and top with additional chives. Enjoy immediately while they’re hot and fresh!
