Cheddar and Herb Biscuits



I am pretty sure I should have been southern, or I was southern in a previous life. I love how they cook (pretty much the fat and spice is what I like). These biscuits are decadent; savory. We had them with salmon and chard one night. It was a great combination. I only made one batch as I know our household and we would have eaten them all in a day or so. I gave the rest to my neighbor. She loved them too (they ate them with salad).
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 tablespoons freshly chopped chives
  • 1 tablespoon freshly chopped parsley leaves
  • 3/4 cup grated sharp yellow Cheddar
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and cayenne together using a whisk. Add the herbs, cheese and buttermilk. Stir together until dough forms. Once dough has formed, using an ice cream scooper, scoop out dough onto baking tray. With a brush, lightly butter tops. Bake for 12-15 minutes.
