Cheddar and Garlic Scape Biscuits

Preheat oven to 450ºF.

Combine dry ingredients together in bowl. Cut butter into small pea-sized pieces and fold into dry ingredients. Combine thoroughly, smashing butter into mixture until blended. Stir in buttermilk and stir by hand until roughly blended.

Add scapes, chives and cheddar cheese, setting aside a small amount of cheese and chives to top biscuits with before baking. Combine to form a ball.

Turn dough out onto floured surface and knead lightly (dough should have slightly sticky consistency). Roll out dough so that it is 3/4 inch thick. Using a glass or a biscuit cutter, cut out 2-inch round shapes. Place the rounds on an ungreased baking sheet. Gather dough scraps, and gently roll out again and repeat.

Sprinkle top of rounds with a pinch of cheddar cheese and chives. Bake biscuits for 8–10 minutes until golden brown. Serve warm with a pat of butter.
