Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the milk. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 3/4-inch thick round.
- Cut out biscuits using a 2-inch round cutter. Reroll scraps once if needed.
- Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet.

- You can substitute other cheeses like Monterey Jack or Gruyere.
