Ingredients

Dairy and Dry Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp Unsalted Butter (Very cold, cut into small cubes or grated)
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1 tbsp Granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Sea Salt (or 1/4 tsp table salt)
  • 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped Chives (or Green Onions)
  • 1/2 cup Buttermilk

  • Ensure the butter is very cold; chill in the freezer for 10 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • Mix flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Add cold butter (cubed or grated) and cut in until coarse crumbs form.
  • Stir in cheese and chives. Add buttermilk gradually, mixing until just combined and a shaggy dough forms.
