Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 0.75 cup blue cheese (crumbled)
• 3 tablespoons fresh chives (finely chopped)
• 0.75 cup buttermilk (cold)
• 0.25 cup all-purpose flour (for dusting)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted, for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.

Step 4

Gently fold in the crumbled blue cheese and chopped chives until evenly distributed.

Step 5

Create a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the cold buttermilk. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch-thick rectangle. Use a floured 2.5-inch biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out biscuits. Re-roll the scraps as needed to make more biscuits, being careful not to work the dough too much.

Step 7

Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

Step 8

Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter, then bake them in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and puffed.

Step 9

Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before serving warm.
