Ingredients

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup minced fresh chives
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground pepper plus more for sprinkling
1 1/3 cups heavy cream
2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted

Instructions

Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
In a large bowl, stir together the flour, chives, baking powder, salt and pepper. Gradually stir in enough of the cream to form a dough that comes together into a ball.
Transfer the dough to a floured work surface and knead gently, adding flour as needed to prevent sticking, until smooth, about 10 turns. Roll out the dough 1/2 inch thick. Using a round biscuit cutter 2 1/2 inches in diameter cut out as many biscuits as possible. Transfer the biscuits to an ungreased baking sheet, spacing them 1 inch apart. Gather together the scraps, roll out 1/2 inch thick and cut out as many additional biscuits as possible. Add to the baking sheet. Brush the biscuits with the melted butter and sprinkle with pepper.
Bake until light brown, about 15 minutes. Remove the biscuits from the oven and serve hot or let cool an the pan on a wire rack and serve warm.

Notes

You can make these biscuits as thick or thin as you like. If you want them about the thickness, that you see in the pictures, roll the dough into 1/2 inch thickness and you'll get about 9 biscuits.

Tip: To get the best height, make sure to simply press the biscuit cutter into the dough and lift. Don't twist the cutter.
