Ingredients

6 cups All-purpose Flour
1/4 cups Baking Powder
3/4 teaspoons Salt
8 ounces, weight White Cheddar Cheese, Grated
1/3 cups Sliced Chives (or Green Onions)
1-1/2 cup Cold Salted Butter, Cut Into Small Pieces, Plus More For Brushing
2-1/2 cups Buttermilk

Directions

1

Preheat oven to 425 F.
2

Combine flour, baking powder, salt, cheese, and chives in a food processor. Pulse until everything is mixed together. Add butter and pulse until mostly incorporated, but with a few remaining chunks of butter. Pour in buttermilk while pulsing, stopping just when the dough comes together. (Add a little more buttermilk if dough is overly dry.)
3

Drop dough onto a baking sheet in 1/4 cup portions (bigger if you'd like!) and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
4

Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with more chives!
5

If you do not have a food processor, cut together the dry ingredients with the butter, then stir in the other ingredients.
