Photo: Chive Biscuits Recipe
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.

Have made these twice and I'm still working out a way to tweak the recipe. As others have said they are a little plain tasting and not very good as a next day treat. I love Ina and have made many of her dishes with rave reviews. These have so far received a luke warm reception.

These biscuits were easy to whip us for breakfast sandwiches, but didn't hold up well leftover. So eat them while they're fresh! I love the simple ingredient list. I never have butter milk in the house and was so happy the recipe didn't call for any. Thanks, Ina!

omg!! i love this recipe. i usually can't make a good biscuit. i thin i over work them, but using my mixer as you did made a huge difference. since it was just me and my boyfriend.... i cut the recipe in half and used frozen green onions. i also cooked the frozen green onions in a little olive oil and cool it before i added it. came out great. oh i cut everything in half except the onions, and made it very flavorful. can't wait to make more of this and i will try adding cheese next time.
