                                       from the book Breakfast with Friends

• 3 cups unbleached, all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 3 tablespoons finely sliced fresh chives
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 8 tablespoons cold, unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
• 1 1/4 cups milk

1.  PREHEAT OVEN to 450˚F
2.  In a large bowl stir to combine, flour, Parmesan, chives, baking powder, salt and pepper.  Add the butter and, using your fingers, rub together butter and flour mixture until fine particles form.  Pour in milk; stir with a fork until incorporated and dough forms.  Turn the dough out on a lightly-floured surface and knead 10 to 15 times.  Sprinkle with a little flour if sticky, but try to keep addition of flour minimal.
3.  Using a lightly-floured rolling pin, roll the dough about 1/2-inch thick.  Cut out rounds with a 2- to 2 1/2-inch cutter dipped in flour.  Place biscuits on  parchment- lined baking sheet.  Reroll scraps and continue to cut out more biscuits.
4.  Place baking sheet on middle rack of preheated oven.  Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden.  Transfer to a wire rack.  Cool biscuits for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.  Makes approximately 20 biscuits.
* Biscuits are best eaten shortly after baking.

Chicken soup is on the docket this week at our house, too. Yea! for soup and your biscuits... Boo! for the chill that warrants them.
I know your kitchen is cozy, warm and smelling fantastic with this post, but, it was one of the last gloriously warm days of autumn here in NY.
We took in a 3 hour leaf peeping ride today and stopped for one last ice cream cone. By Wednesday we are 15* colder and soup's on!

Glad to hear you got out to see beautiful fall colors today! (And, an ice cream cone!). The weather has changed here too, with a cold rain in the forecast.

Wow, I've tried Parmesan biscuits, but it never occurred to me to try it with chives. Guess I know what I'm doing this weekend...
