Equipment

Ingredients

2 cups all purpose flour
½ tbsp baking soda
2 cups shredded cheese mix of three cheeses: parmesan, Jarlsberg and asiago
1 stick salted butter 8 tbsps or half a cup
1 cup buttermilk
1 tsp chives finely minced
½ tsp Italian Seasoning or Herbes de Provence
2-3 tbsps butter for brushing

Instructions

Set oven to pre-heat to 450 degrees F. Add 1 stick of butter from refrigerator to freezer for about 15 minutes or so to harden the butter.
Add flour and baking soda to a mixing bowl. Use the danish whisk to mix thoroughly.
Grate all three cheeses over flour, make sure you have about 2 cups of shredded cheese. Mix.
Grate butter over the bowl too, work fast so heat from your hand doesn't melt or soften the butter.
Add buttermilk (make sure it's cold). Add chives and seasonings of choice. I alternate between blends like Italian seasoning or Herbes de Provence.
Mix well with the whisk then use your hands to form the dough. Don't overdo the kneading.
Grease the cast iron skillet. Make 9 balls of dough and place them in a circle around the skillet, with 9 ball in the middle. That way the biscuits are not overcrowding each other.
Bake from 13-15 minutes until golden brown. Brush with herbed butter at the end before serving for more flavor:). Enjoy!

Notes

Salted butter and cheese has enough salt so I didn't add any extra in the dough. But sometimes, I do add some garlic salt in the butter before I brush over the biscuits.
Store extra biscuits in an airtight container for 2-3 days. Warm them up in the toaster over.
