Sour Cream and Onion Drop Biscuits 

Preparation

1. Step 1

   Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Line two large (13-by-18-inch) baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.

2. Step 2

   Whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Add the butter, then, using a pastry cutter or large fork, cut the butter into the flour to form pea-size pieces. Alternatively, use your hands to quickly pinch the butter into the flour mixture until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

3. Step 3

   Add the Parmesan and chives and toss to combine.

4. Step 4

   Drizzle in the buttermilk and stir with a flexible spatula until the dough is combined. The dough should look moist but still very lumpy.

5. Step 5

   Scoop the dough into 10 equal portions (about ⅓ cup each) and place onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them apart evenly.

6. Step 6

   Bake until golden brown, 23 to 24 minutes. Let cool slightly on the baking sheets before serving. The biscuits are best enjoyed while they are still warm.
