These are like a scone. Split in half for serving. Eat plain and buttered, or top with your favorite mixture. Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour |
1 tbsp sugar |
1 tbsp baking powder |
1/2 cup chopped chives |
11/2 tsp salt |
1/2 cup butter, cut into cubes |
3/4cup milk |
1 egg, beaten |
egg wash |
1 egg beaten with 1 tbsp water |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450°F
2. Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, chives and salt in a mixing bowl.
3. Drop the butter into the middle and work it into the flour mixture using your fingers (or a pastry cutter) to form coarse crumbs.
4. You can also do this in food processor but remove before you add the milk mixture.
5. Combine milk and egg and gently incorporate into flour mixture to form a sticky ball.
6. Turn out onto a well floured work surface and gently push dough out with your hands to form a rectangle about 2-inches thick.
7. Use a 2-inch round cutter to cut out circles, re-rolling scraps until you have 10 biscuits all together.
8. Arrange on parchment-lined baking tray, allowing biscuits to touch so that the sides will stay moist.
9. Brush tops with egg wash.
10. Bake in center of oven for 15 minutes or until golden.
11. Serve warm or at room temperature.
