Cheddar Chive Drop Biscuits
2 cups all-purpose flour or gluten-free baking mix
½ tsp. salt
1 Tbs. sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
2 Tbs. chopped fresh chives
½ cup vegetable shortening
1 cup milk
¼ cup shredded sharp cheddar
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Stir dry ingredients together in a medium size bowl. Cut in vegetable shortening using a pastry blender or two knives. Add milk and stir until just blended. Drop by tablespoons onto a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake at 425 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cool slightly and serve warm. Makes 12 biscuits.
Notes
--I’ve made these plenty of times at home in my familiar oven and at bread demos in a variety of kitchens, and they’ve always turned out great.
--You can substitute other fresh herbs like basil, rosemary or thyme. If you’re using dried herbs, use only a tablespoon.
--My sister Lisa recommends brushing these with garlic butter just before serving, and I agree!
