Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 pound (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, diced
3/4 cup half-and-half
1/2 cup chopped fresh chives or fresh parsley leaves
1 egg mixed with 1 tablespoon water, for egg wash

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the butter and mix on low speed until the butter is the size of peas. With the mixer on low, add the half-and-half and beat until just mixed. Add the chives and mix until just combined.

Dump the dough out on a well-floured board and knead lightly into a rectangle 3/4-inch thick. Cut out rounds with a 2 1/2-inch round cutter and place on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Brush with the egg wash.

Bake for 20 to 22 minutes, until the tops are browned and the insides are firm. Serve warm.

delicious!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These turned out great! Make sure you don't make the dough too thin and also, add 1/2 cup of grated parmesan and you won't be... sorry!Read more

I used parsley in the biscuits
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I couldn't wait to reheat Parker's Stew, so I ate a biusuit by itself. It was too salty for my taste. When eaten with the... stew, the salt was not as strong. My husband agreed they were salty, but he liked them. I used parsley, but couldn't taste it. I had looked forward to chive, but didn't have any. I would not try them again.Read more

Great!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made these using the chives from my garden and they were terrific! I froze the extras and I am delighted to find they... freeze beautifully. Just heat them in the oven for a few minutes. Now I will make a couple of batches for later and freeze them - minus, of course, the ones we eat tonight. Another Ina winner!Read more

I can't wait for dinner tonight!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I just took these wonderful biscuits out of the oven, and tasted one. Fantastic . Because other reviewers thought these... were bland, I added a ? C of parmesan cheese (and cut back on the salt). It is a wonderful combination of flavors. These will be served tonight with Ina's Ribolita ~~ which is fast becoming our favorite soup. Thanks again, Ina, for another wonderful recipe.Read more

great biscuits
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Saw your show this afternoon and made these biscuits tonight with your baked snapper in mustard sauce. Dee-licious. My... husband and his friend went ga-ga over these biscuits. After reading other comments I must say that it is important to have fresh baking powder; my biscuits puffed up beautifully. They're light and tasty and a perfect accompaniment to any main dish.
