Is there anything better than homemade biscuits? I think not. These Cheddar Chive Biscuits are as light as air with a delicious down-home flavor!
*Disclaimer - This recipe was originally published in 2014. I'm working hard to update all my older recipes with recipe cards, new photos, and additional recipe information. But, getting to all of them will take time. Please bear with me. In the meantime let me assure you that this recipe is still a winner and one I'm sure you'll be well pleased with when you make it at home.
Contrary to how it looks in the above photo, I did not eat five of these Cheddar Chive Biscuits along with three sausages and a pile of scrambled eggs. I had three sausages, a pile of scrambled eggs, and TWO biscuits. A girl has to watch her figure you know! lol
As it happens, when we do eat a big breakfast (which isn't all that common around here) we usually don't eat again until dinnertime so I guess in the long run, it all evens out as far as calories go...or maybe that's wishful thinking! Whatever 😉
