Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

¼ cup fresh chives, finely chopped

1 cup whole milk

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven:

    Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). While the oven heats up, line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

      Mix Dry Ingredients:

        In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper until all ingredients are well combined and evenly distributed.

          Cut in the Butter:

            Add the cold, cubed butter to the bowl with the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, blend the butter into the flour until the mixture takes on a texture resembling coarse crumbs, with some larger pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.

              Add Cheese and Chives:

                Gently fold in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese and finely chopped chives to the flour-butter mixture. Ensure they are evenly mixed so that every biscuit is cheesy and herb-infused.

                  Incorporate Milk:

                    Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the whole milk. Mix with a spatula or wooden spoon until the ingredients are just combined. Take care not to overmix; the dough should appear slightly sticky and shaggy.

                      Drop the Biscuits:

                        Using a large spoon or ice cream scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, placing them about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading as they bake.

                          Bake:

                            Place the baking sheet in the hot oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops of the biscuits turn a lovely golden brown.

                              Cool and Serve:

                                Once baked, take the biscuits out of the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these delightful cheesy, herb-infused biscuits warm!
