How to Make Barefoot Contessa's Chive Biscuits
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar.
- Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in 1 cup half-and-half until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat into a 3/4-inch thick rectangle.
- Use a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter (or a knife) to cut out biscuits. Reroll scraps.
- Place biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops with 1 large egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon of water (egg wash).
- Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
