Flaky, buttery biscuits packed with savory Parmesan and fresh chives, perfect as a side or snack. These tender biscuits have a crisp golden top and rich, cheesy flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 sticks (6 oz) cold unsalted butter (cubed)
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour (plus more for the biscuit cutter)
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black or white pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 cup minced fresh chives or scallions
  • 1 1/2 cups cold whole-milk buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons (1 oz) unsalted butter (melted)

Instructions

  1. Place the cubed butter in the freezer for 10 minutes to chill and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, Parmesan cheese, baking powder, sugar, salt, pepper, and baking soda.
  3. Add the chilled butter and cut it into the flour mixture using a pastry blender or your fingers until pieces are pea- to almond-sized.
  4. Stir in the chives.
  5. Add the buttermilk and gently fold until the dough is mostly combined but still crumbly. Turn onto a surface and pat into a 1-inch-thick square.
  6. Fold the dough in half, cut and stack the halves, then pat back into a square. Repeat folding and stacking three more times.
  7. Cut biscuits using a floured 3 1/2-inch round cutter. Reroll scraps as needed.
  8. Place biscuits on the baking sheet about 1 inch apart and chill for 10 minutes in the freezer or 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
  9. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  10. Brush biscuits with melted butter and bake for 18 to 23 minutes until golden brown and flaky.
  11. Serve warm with butter.

Notes

  • Use very cold butter to achieve flaky layers.
  • A smaller cutter can be used for more, smaller biscuits.
  • Freeze unbaked biscuits for later and bake directly from frozen with a few extra minutes.
  • Best served warm but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
