Instructions
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Cut in Butter
Add the cold butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add Cheese and Chives
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped chives until evenly distributed.
Add Buttermilk
Pour in the buttermilk and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Drop Biscuit Dough
Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, drop the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Serve
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving with smoked pimento cheese.
