Ingredients

  • 2 3/4 c. all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp. sugar
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. table salt
  • 1/4 tsp. baking soda
  • 10 tbsp. unsalted butter cold, cubed
  • 1 c. cheddar shredded
  • 1/3 c. minced fresh chives
  • 1 c. buttermilk
  • 2 tbsp. water
  • 1 egg blended with 1 tbsp. water

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 F; line a baking sheet with parchment paper.   

  2. Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or fork until pea-sized.

  3. Stir in cheddar and chives, then add buttermilk and 2 tbsp. water; knead gently just until blended.

  4.  Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and pat into an 8" square. Cut into 2'' squares, then cut squares into triangles.
