Cheese & Chive Biscuits

Cheese and Chive Biscuits

Ingredients:
2 ½ cups self-rising flour, plus extra for dusting
1 stick butter, frozen and grated
½ cup cold shredded cheddar
2 tablespoons chives
1 ½ cups cold buttermilk, plus extra as necessary
Melted butter, for brushing

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, combine self-rising flour and cold, grated butter. Toss to combine. Pinch any big pieces of butter between your fingers to break them up into smaller pieces. Add cheese and chives and toss again.
2. Add ¾ of buttermilk and using your hands, very gently mix until all flour is incorporated. If mixture is a little dry, add remaining buttermilk and very carefully mix. Only mix until ingredients are just combined. If there is any excess flour at the bottom of the bowl, add a little extra buttermilk. Dough will be a little wet, shaggy, and sticky.
3. Flour countertop and carefully put dough on floured surface. Pat dough out to 1 inch thick and fold over onto itself. Turn 90 degrees and repeat this step 2-3 more times. If dough is too sticky, dust with a little extra flour as necessary.
4. After final fold, pat dough out to 1 ¼ to 1 ½ inches thick and cut with a 1 ½ inch biscuit cutter.
5. Place biscuits in a 10-inch cake pan or skillet and arrange so that they are touching. Start by placing them in around the edge and work towards the center.
6. Brush with melted butter and bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until tops are golden brown and center is cooked through. To test, remove the top off one biscuit. If it is cooked it will be light and fluffy inside and if it needs a few extra minutes it may still look a little gooey inside.
7. Once cooked through, remove from oven, brush with more melted butter and enjoy!
