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.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
