These garlic cheddar biscuits with aged cheese are the perfect and comforting companion to your next batch of soup!
Preheat the oven to 450 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, garlic powder and salt. Add the butter and using your fingers or a pastry blender, break the butter to the size of peas. Add the chives and cheese and mix together.
In a measuring glass, whisk the egg and add milk to reach the ¾ mark. Add the milk mixture to the flour and mix just to combine (will be crumbly). Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface, pat together into a 1” circle and cut into shapes with a round biscuit cutter (or cut into wedges with a sharp knife). Place on the prepared baking sheet and bake until golden brown, around 12 minutes.
Brush with garlic butter if desired (2 tablespoons of melted butter with ½ clove crushed garlic) and serve warm out of the oven.
