Replace the chives with an equal amount of any of your favorite fresh herbs, if desired. Bake the biscuits up to 3 days ahead, and store in an airtight container. To reheat, place in a 300° oven for 10 minutes. Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour |
1 tablespoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 cup chilled butter, cut into small pieces |
3/4 cup low-fat buttermilk |
1 large egg |
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°.
2. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl; cut in butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal. Combine buttermilk and egg; stir in chives. Add buttermilk mixture to flour mixture, and stir just until moist.
3. Turn dough out onto a heavily floured surface; knead lightly 5 times. Roll dough to a 1/2-inch thickness; cut with a 2-inch biscuit cutter. Place dough rounds, 1 inch apart, on a baking sheet. Bake at 400° for 12 minutes or until golden. Serve warm or at room temperature.
4. Note: To maximize the number of biscuits, gather the dough scraps after cutting and gently reroll to a 1/2-inch thickness. A light hand with the dough will ensure tender biscuits.
