We're starting off the New Year right over here - with cozy comfort food (duh). Specifically, cheddar chive biscuits.
If you don't already know or couldn't already tell, I'm a cheese and onion LOVER. So any chance I get to merge the two (or just eat either or), I take it. That's just one of the many reasons I love these biscuits oh so much.
These cheddar chive biscuits are superbly buttery, flaky and crumbly while also being firm and tender. The perfect characteristics of a biscuit.
You can whip them up so easily and they go great with any meal. Breakfast - perhaps as the top and bottom to an egg sandwich??, or dinner - as a side to maybe some juicy steak??.
No matter how you have them or what you have them with, you're for sure going to enjoy them.

Cheddar Chive Biscuits
INGREDIENTS
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup 2 sticks unsalted butter, grated or cubed + 2 tbsp melted
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 tsp honey
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese grated
- ¼ cup fresh chives chopped
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat your oven to 425℉.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Then mix in the butter. If grated, you can simply stir to combine a bit. If cubed, work the butter into the flour mixture with your hands to crumble the butter a bit.
- Add in the buttermilk and honey and mix until a loose dough forms. Then mix in the cheddar and chives. Move to a floured surface and work with your hands until it all just comes together and flatten to about 1 ½ inches.
- Using a biscuit cutter, cut out the biscuits by going straight up and down (do not turn the cutter - doing so will hinder the rise and flaky layers). Place in a greased surface and brush the tops with the 2 tbsp melted butter.
- Bake for 20 minutes until golden brown.
