Ingredients
-
2 cups all-purpose flour
-
1 tablespoon baking powder
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
⅓ cup shortening
-
½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
-
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
-
1 cup milk, or as needed
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
-
Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Cut in shortening with a knife or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir Cheddar cheese and chives into flour mixture; gradually stir in milk to form a soft dough.
-
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and with floured hands, knead until smooth, about 15 times. Roll dough out to a 1-inch thickness with a floured rolling pin. Cut biscuits with a 2 1/2-inch round cookie cutter; place onto an ungreased baking sheet. Press dough trimmings together, roll out again, and cut remaining dough into rounds.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
