Imagine my surprise when I found a package of washed chives in the fridge from a couple of nights ago that I had forgotten about. I couldn't let these babies go to waste so I put them on the counter and thought about what to do with them. Something easy, something that wouldn't require a huge commitment.
Remember my Favorite Biscuits? A couple of additions and talk about awesome! So now you know how versatile these biscuits are.
2 cups self rising flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
2 tablespoons chopped chives
1 tablespoon chopped Italian Parsley (optional)
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
1½ cups heavy whipping cream
Don't have have self-rising flour, no problem! You can turn your AP flour into self-rising flour in a snap! For each cup of self-rising flour, use one cup of all-purpose flour and add 1-1/4 teaspoon of baking powder and 1/8 teaspoon of salt.
Mix all of the ingredients together until dough forms a ball using a fork or your hands. Turn out onto floured surface and knead for about 1 minute. Roll dough out to ½ inch thickness and cut biscuits with a biscuit cutter. Place biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a Siplat and bake at 425F for 10 to 12 minutes, until golden brown.
Have a great weekend and use sun block!
Yes, in this era of the Obama economy, we cannot be wasting anything, including our chives! Thanks for this delicious, and might I add, patriotic dish for these desperate days.
