Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
  • 3/4 cup cold milk or buttermilk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped chives.
  5. Make a well in the center and pour in the cold milk. Stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 3/4-inch thick round.
  7. Cut the dough into 8 wedges.
  8. Place the wedges on the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of garlic powder to the dry ingredients.
  • If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to 3/4 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Serve warm with butter or your favorite spread.
