Cheddar-Chive Drop Biscuits
I love drop biscuits. And these ones taste amazing.

Total Time:
Ingredients:
| 6 cups | all-purpose flour |
| 1/4 cup | baking powder |
| 3/4 teaspoon | salt |
| 8 ounces | , weight white cheddar cheese, grated |
| 1/3 cup | sliced chives (or green onions) |
| 1 1/2 cup | cold salted butter, cut into small pieces, plus more for brushing |
| 2 1/2 cups | buttermilk |
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 F. Combine flour, baking powder, salt, cheese, and chives in a food processor. Pulse until everything is mixed together. Add butter and pulse until mostly incorporated, but with a few remaining chunks of butter. Pour in buttermilk while pulsing, stopping just when the dough comes together. (Add a little more buttermilk if dough is overly dry.) Drop dough onto a baking sheet in 1/4 cup portions (bigger if you'd like!) and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with more chives! If you do not have a food processor, cut together the dry ingredients with the butter, then stir in the other ingredients. Note: Recipe can easily be halved.
