Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, baking soda, and black pepper.
- Cut in the cold butter with a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs with a few pea-sized pieces remaining.
- Stir in the cheddar cheese and chives.
- Drizzle in the Farmhouse Infused Olive Oil Blend and pour in the cold buttermilk, then fold gently just until the dough comes together.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a 3/4-inch-thick rectangle.
- Fold the dough over itself once or twice to build flaky layers, then pat it back out.
- Cut out 8 biscuits with a floured 2 1/2-inch cutter and place them on the prepared baking sheet with the sides just touching for softer edges or spaced apart for crisper sides.
- Brush the tops lightly with melted butter.
- Bake for 16 to 18 minutes, until the biscuits are tall and golden brown.
- Serve warm.
Notes
The dough should feel slightly shaggy before shaping; avoid overmixing so the biscuits stay tender. Use very cold butter and buttermilk for the best rise. The olive oil brings the Farmhouse blend into the dough itself, so every bite tastes savory from the inside out.
