Chive Biscuits

2 cups flour
1 T. baking powder
1 t. kosher salt
1 t. sugar
1 stick cold butter
¾ cup half and half
¼ cup fresh chives, chopped

Preheat oven to 400°.

Combine the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. With a pastry blender, cut in the butter until it is about the size of peas. Add the cream and chives and mix with a fork. If it is a little dry, add a bit more half and half. Mix until just combined. Dump dough onto a well floured tea towel. Knead lightly until it holds together. Sprinkle with a little flour. Roll into a rectangle ¾-inch thick. Cut into 2 ½-inch rounds and place on a baking tray lined with parchment. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes, until they are lightly brown. These are light and yummy.  These are also very tasty if you substitute about a half cup of shredded cheese for the chives.
Makes 12 biscuits.
