Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

1/4 cup fresh chives, chopped

3/4 cup buttermilk

1 large egg (for egg wash)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

      Cut in the Butter: Add the cold cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

        Add Cheese and Chives: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped chives until evenly distributed throughout the flour mixture.

          Mix in Buttermilk: Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the buttermilk. Gently mix with a fork until just combined. Do not overmix; it’s okay if the dough is slightly sticky.

            Shape the Biscuits: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently pat it into a rectangle about 1-inch thick. Use a round biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits, pressing straight down without twisting.

              Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about an inch of space between them.

                Prepare Egg Wash: In a small bowl, beat the egg for the egg wash. Brush the tops of the biscuits lightly with the beaten egg to give them a golden color.

                  Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are puffed and golden brown on top.

                    Cool and Serve: Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm, ideally with butter or a savory dip.
