Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients and Add-ins

  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, diced
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons finely diced onion
  • 3/4 cup cold buttermilk

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking, ensuring optimal baking conditions for rise and color.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening and seasoning agents.
  3. Cut in the Butter: Add the cold diced unsalted butter to the dry mixture. Using a pastry cutter, two forks, or fingers, work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces, creating flaky layers.
  4. Add Cheese, Onion, and Chives: Fold in the grated Parmesan, finely diced onion, and freshly chopped chives evenly throughout the dough for a consistent savory flavor.
  5. Incorporate Buttermilk: Gradually pour in the cold buttermilk, stirring gently with a spoon or spatula until the dough just comes together. Avoid overmixing to keep the dough slightly sticky and tender.
  6. Shape and Cut: Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat to about 1 inch thickness. Using a sharp biscuit cutter or round glass, cut out biscuits straight down without twisting to keep edges sharp for better rise.
  7. Bake to Golden Perfection: Place biscuits close but not touching on the baking sheet. Bake for 12–15 minutes until puffed, golden, and aromatic. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Keep butter cold to achieve flaky biscuit layers.
  • Do not overwork the dough to preserve air pockets for fluffiness.
  • Use fresh chives and onion for the best flavor and aroma.
  • Press the biscuit cutter straight down without twisting for optimum rise.
  • Serve biscuits warm to enhance their flavor and texture.
