Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • ½ cup cold butter (diced)
  • ¾ cup milk (or half-and-half)
  • ½ cup fresh chives (chopped)
  • 1 egg

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the butter, and mix on low speed until the butter is the size of peas.
  • With the mixer on low, add the milk, and beat just until mixed.
  • Add the chives, and mix just until combined.
  • Dump the dough out onto a well-floured board, and knead lightly into a rectangle about ¾-inch thick. Cut out rounds with a 2-½-inch round cutter, and place on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl, beat the egg well, and add 1 tablespoon of water. Brush the tops of the biscuits with the egg wash.
  • Bake for about 20 to 22 minutes, or until the tops are golden-brown and the insides are flaky, yet firm. Serve warm.

Notes

Buttermilk Option: Substitute buttermilk for regular milk to add extra tang and tenderness to your biscuits. The acid in buttermilk creates an even more tender crumb structure.
Freezing Method: Freeze unbaked biscuits on a tray until solid, then transfer to freezer bags for convenient future baking. This prevents them from sticking together and allows you to bake just the amount you need.
Serving Temperature: These biscuits are best served warm from the oven when the butter is still slightly melted. The texture and flavor are at their peak within the first hour after baking.
Storage
  • Store cooled biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
  • Or freeze for up to 3 months for longer storage.
