Servings: persons

2 cups All-purpose Flour
1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoons Kosher Salt
1/2 teaspoons Freshly Ground Black Pepper, Plus More For Topping
8 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, Cold And Cut Into Small Pieces
1 cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese, Shredded
1/4 cups Chives, Chopped
4 ounces, weight Jarred Sliced Pimentos, Drained And Chopped
1 cup Buttermilk, Cold
1 whole Egg, Beaten

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!
