SOUR CREAM CHEDDAR AND CHIVES DROP BISCUITS RECIPE

YIELD: 14

PREP TIME:10 MINUTES

COOK TIME:15 MINUTES

TOTAL TIME:25 MINUTES

A savory biscuit perfect as an appetizer or addition to any meal.

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 4 tablespoons butter, frozen, grated
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup fresh chopped chives
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1/2 cup sour cream

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 450-degrees F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or coat with cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and pepper.
3. Cut in grated butter until mixture resembles coarse meal.
4. Add shredded cheese and chives; toss to combine.
5. Stir in buttermilk and sour cream until just combined. Don’t over mix.
6. Drop dough in 1/4 cup rounds onto prepared baking sheet. Bake at 450-degrees F for 12-15 minutes or until slightly browned. Serve warm.

• The recipe below makes 14 (2-3”) biscuits when using 1/4 cup “drops” of dough. Adjust “drop” size and monitor cook time for smaller biscuits. Of course you could go bigger too. 
• Baking parchment makes life so much easier when baking just about anything, plus I think it helps these biscuits develops a nice subtle crust on the bottoms.
• I always keep a couple of sticks of butter in the freezer just for biscuits. They can quickly be grated for use in biscuits and pastry dough, which helps quicken things along quite a bit. The need to “cut in” the butter isn’t really necessary as the little bits of butter quickly and evenly mix in.
