Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 pound (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, diced
- 3/4 cup half-and-half
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh chives or fresh parsley leaves
- 1 egg mixed with 1 tablespoon water, for egg wash
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in the bowl of an electric 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 half-and-half and beat until just mixed. Add the chives and mix until just combined.
- Dump the dough out on a well-floured board and knead lightly into a rectangle 3/4-inch thick. Cut out rounds with a 2 1/2-inch round cutter and place on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Brush with the egg wash.
- Bake for 20 to 22 minutes, until the tops are browned and the insides are firm. Serve warm.

Yes! Easy and delicious.
Quick and tasty. Love the chive flavor!
to thums up!
Amazing taste and consistency … very easy to make. A true hit with my family!
These biscuits are wonderful and easy to make. They especially go well with beef stew. The leftover biscuits are use the next morning for a breakfast sandwich of eggs and bacon. Slice in half and place in the toaster then add your eggs and bacon, ham or sausage. Real good fast on the run breakfast.
I just made these and they came out FANTASTIC!! I followed the recipe exactly.
As others have said this was super east to where I did not need my kitchen aid, just my pastry blender and a strong rubber spatula. Not too moist but not dry and full of buttery flavor. I ate two within a minute lol and I am on a diet so it will be a light dinner tonight. I will make these again and my kitchen still smells amazing! Thanks Ina!
This is one of my go to recipes. Everyone loves these biscuits! I usually make them for dinner instead of brunch. I also pre-make them and freeze them. I thaw them out, then brush them with egg and bake.
These were fantastic! Easy and delicious. Thanks for the recipe Ina!
Our only complaint about these was from my husband who said our sons ate too many so they’re weren’t any left for the next day’s breakfast. Thanks Ina !
