In a small saucepan over low heat, warm sour cream to 105°.
In a large mixer bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add sour cream, 1 1/2 cups of the flour, egg, sugar, chives, shortening and salt. At low speed, beat until blended, then beat 1 minute longer. Stir in remaining 3/4 cup flour until well mixed. Cover and let rise in a warm place, free from drafts, until doubled, about 45 minutes.
Generously grease a 10-inch tube pan. In a small bowl, mix cheese, parsley and paprika set aside.
Stir down dough. Drop by rounded 1/2 tablespoons onto waxed paper, forming forth-eight 1-inch balls. Dip each ball in butter, then roll in cheese mixture. Place balls 1/4 inch apart in layers in pan. Pour any remaining butter over top sprinkle with any remaining cheese mixture. Cover and let rise in a warm place, free from drafts, until doubled, 20 to 30 minutes. Bake in a preheated 400° oven for 20 to 30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes remove from pan. Serve warm.
