Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp garlic salt
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 cup cold butter (cubed plus 2 Tbsp melted)
  • 1/2 cup cold buttermilk
  • 1 large egg (beaten)
  • 1 1/2 cup leftover mashed potatoes
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped chives

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spritz with cooking spray.
  • Sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, garlic salt and onion powder.
  • Cut the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Beat the egg with the buttermilk. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
  • Use a fork to work the liquid into the flour using a circular motion. Keep mixing until the flour is nearly moistened then mix in the mashed potatoes using the same technique.
  • After everything has combined, the dough will look a little lumpy
  • Add the shredded cheese and chopped chives. Mix until fully combined.
  • Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead several times until the dough holds together. Roll to 1/2-inch thickness and use a 3-inch biscuit cutter or glass dipped in flour to cut into circles.
  • Re-roll the scraps and repeat until all of the dough has been used.
  • Place the dough rounds onto the baking sheet and brush the tops with melted butter.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the tops and bottoms are lightly golden. Serve warm.
