Servings: persons

1
Preheat oven to 400u00b0F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
2
Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add the butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to incorporate it until the mixture is coarse and crumbly. Stir in the cheese, chives, and pimentos. Add the buttermilk and stir until just combined.
3
Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface and knead a few times until it holds together. Shape the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness. Use a floured biscuit cutter to cut out the dough and transfer to the baking sheets. (Gather up the scraps to make more biscuits as needed.)
4
Brush the top of each biscuit with the beaten egg and top with a bit more black pepper. Bake for 18-20 minutes, until the tops are golden brown. Cool slightly on a wire rack before serving warm!

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.

No specific allergen information. Please check the ingredient list for possible allergens.
