Instructions

Step 1

Heat oven to 450°. Whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and baking soda in a bowl. Using a pastry cutter, work butterinto flour mixture until the butter is the size of small peas. Add buttermilk, cheese, and chives to flour-butter mixture; stir with a fork to form a loose dough. Turn dough out onto a floured surface; gently pat into a 6" × 9" rectangle. Fold in thirds as you would a letter; pat into a 6" × 9" rectangle again. Dip edges of a 3" round biscuit cutter in flour; punch out 6 biscuits from dough. Transfer them to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. (Form and cut dough scraps into another biscuit or two, if you wish; they won't rise as high, though.) Brush tops with cream; bake until lightly browned, 14-16 minutes.
