    Parmesan Chive Buttermilk Biscuits


    Source of Recipe


    internet

    List of Ingredients




    4 cups organic all-purpose flour
    4 teaspoons baking powder
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    2 teaspoons organic cane sugar
    2 sticks (16 tablespoons) very cold butter
    1 1/2 cup cold buttermilk
    1 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese
    1 package of fresh chives, finely sliced

    Recipe



    Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

    In a bowl, combine the flours, salt, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. Stir until sifted. Using two knives, a pastry blender, or a cheese grater, cut the butter into small bits and work it into the dry ingredients.

    Stir in the chives and parmesan. Form a well in the center and add the buttermilk, stirring until moistened. Then, turn out on a floured counter and knead until you are able to form it into a round disc and all of the dough comes together.

    Roll the dough out to a 1/2 - 3/4 of an inch thickness. Using a biscuit cutter or the top edge of a a round glass, cut the dough into biscuits. Remove the scraps and re-roll, cutting more biscuits out, until all of the dough has been used.

    Place the biscuits on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake at 450 degrees for 10 - 15 minutes, or until golden on the tops. Eat hot out of the oven
    NOTES: I love to split the biscuit in half and spread each side with The Laughing Cow's Light Garlic and Herb Cheese.

    For the flour, I like to use 3 cups all-purpose and 1 cup freshly ground white hard white whole wheat flour
