Herb and Garlic Biscuits

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour + plus more for rolling and dusting
• 2 tablespoons baking powder
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 5 tablespoons cold Kerrygold Garlic and Herb Butter
• 1 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon minced fresh chives

Directions

1. Using an electric mixer, add flour, baking powder, sugar and salt to the bowl, and mix on medium until combined and any flour lumps are dissipated. Cut butter into pats and add to flour, mixing until butter is cut into the flour and resembles rough crumbs. (If you don't have an electric mixer, you may use a fork or pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour mixture.)
2. Add milk and chives and mix for 15-20 seconds or so to combine ingredients. It should form a rough ball. Do not over mix.
3. Scrape the dough out onto a well-floured board or surface and pat it down into a reasonable rectangle about 1 inch thick. Heat oven to 425F. Allow the dough to rest on the board while the oven heats.
4. Gently pat the dough a bit more, so it is roughly a 10-a by 6-inch rectangle. Cut dough into biscuits using a biscuit cutter, the floured rim of a drinking glass, or a knife. You could make round, square or shaped biscuits, depending on your cutter. I made stars today, to cheer us up.
5. Using a spatula, transfer biscuits onto a cookie sheet and bake until golden brown, approximately 10-12 minutes.
6. Serves 6 to 8.
