Ingredients

  • 2 cups (250 grams) all purpose flour, spooned and leveled*
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ cup (115 grams) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup (240 ml) buttermilk or kefir, cold
  • 1.5 cups (160 grams) cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 2 tablespoons chives, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450 F (230 C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Melt the butter completely and let cool for several minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and garlic powder.
  4. When the butter has slightly cooled, whisk it together with the cold buttermilk.
  5. Pour the buttermilk mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  6. Fold in the cheese and the chopped chives, making sure not to overmix the dough.
  7. Drop heaping spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown.

Notes

Spooned and leveled: Scooping a measuring cup into a flour container can result in much more flour than intended, which can affect the success of your biscuits. To get a more accurate measurement, use a spoon to lightly scoop flour into the measuring cup until it’s completely full. Then run the back of a knife over the cup to gently scrape off any excess.
