Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix all dry ingredients thoroughly.
- Add butter and oil while mixing until all oils are incorporated.
- Add milk and knead just until the dough pulls away from the side of the bowl.
- Do not overmix.
- Drop spoonfuls of dough onto an ungreased baking sheet.
- Each biscuit should weigh about 2 ounces.
- Bake in a 400°F oven for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using a mix of butter and margarine instead of all margarine. If you want to enhance the cheese flavor, try adding a bit of grated Parmesan along with the Cheddar. Make sure to sift your dry ingredients for a lighter texture. If you don't have dried chives, fresh chives can be used but adjust the quantity to about half.
Serving Suggestions
These biscuits are perfect served warm alongside soup or salad, making them a great addition to any meal. They pair beautifully with a hearty bowl of chili or can be enjoyed as a snack on their own. For a delightful brunch, serve them with a side of Almost Eskimo Ice Cream for a sweet contrast.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 3 months. To reheat, place in a 350°F oven for about 10-15 minutes until warm.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?
Yes, you can substitute whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour, but it may result in denser biscuits. To maintain lightness, consider using half whole wheat and half all-purpose flour.
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the dough and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. Just make sure to let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before baking to ensure even cooking.
What can I use instead of chives?
If you don't have chives, you can substitute with green onions or finely chopped parsley. Both will provide a fresh flavor, although the taste will differ slightly from the original recipe.
