Blue Cheese and Chive Biscuits

Ingredients

2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons sugar
¾ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter ¾ stick or 3 ounces, cut into ½-inch cubes
1 ½ cups crumbled blue cheese or cheddar if you aren’t a fan
4 scallions finely chopped
1 cup well-shaken buttermilk

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450°F. Whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, baking soda, and salt in a bowl, then blend in butter with your fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in blue cheese and scallions. Add buttermilk and stir until just combined.
Drop dough in 12 equal mounds about 2 inches apart onto a buttered large baking sheet, or one lined with parchment paper. Bake in middle of oven until golden, 16 to 20 minutes.

Recipe Notes

Do ahead: Biscuits are always best the day they are baked. However, if you wish to get a lead on them, you can make them, drop them onto your baking sheet, freeze them until they are firm, and place them in a freezer bag or container until you’re ready to bake them. They can be baked while still frozen (straight from the freezer), you’ll just want to add a few minutes to the baking time.
