Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/4 cup chopped fresh chives

3/4 cup buttermilk

Instructions
 

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

    Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined.

      Cut in Butter: Add the cubed cold butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

        Add Cheese and Chives: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped chives until evenly distributed.

          Incorporate Buttermilk: Pour in the buttermilk and gently mix using a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly shaggy.

            Shape Biscuits: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Fold the dough over on itself a few times (this creates layers) and then use a rolling pin to flatten it again to about 1 inch thickness.

              Cut Biscuits: Using a round biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out biscuits from the dough. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each biscuit.

                Bake: Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden on top.

                  Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with butter or your favorite spread.
