Goat Cheese and Chive Biscuits
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for rolling
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
handful of chopped chives
8 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, divided
4 ounces goat cheese, cold
2/3 - 3/4 cup whole milk
For biscuit sandwiches, fill them with crisp bacon, slices of avocado and sunny side up eggs.
In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt and chives. Cut 6 tablespoons of butter and the goat cheese into pieces and sprinkle over the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter to cut the butter and cheese in until pea-sized pieces remain. Refrigerate while you preheat the oven.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Add the milk to the chilled flour mixture and stir with a spoon just until a shaggy dough forms; the dough should just barely hold together. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1 inch thick. Cut into biscuits with a 2-inch biscuit cutter and place 1 inch apart on the baking sheet.
Bake at 450 for 12-14 minutes, until risen and golden brown. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and brush over the hot biscuits. Serve piping hot.
Yields about 12 biscuits.
