Goat Cheese and Chive Biscuits

This biscuits were recently posted by my good friend and fab food blogger, Mita.
I tried them soon after she posted them and Bob ate about seven in one sitting.

I made her recipe pretty much the way she has it in her blog. I didn't have chives but I did have some young green onions which worked perfectly, I am guessing some fresh herbs in a smaller amount than the chives would also be tasty.

Ingredients

2 whole wheat pastry flour
1 cup unbleached white flour 
3/4 cups butter
3/4 cup greek yogurt or sour cream
1 tbsp sugar
2 1/2  tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 egg beaten + (1 beaten egg, for egg wash)
3 tbsp cold water
1/3 cup chopped chives
3/4 cup goat cheese crumbled

Topping [optional]: salt, black pepper, paprika, rosemary mix 'em together.


1)In a large bowl mix the flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pepper.

2) Using a pastry cutter cut in the butter.

 Until it is crumbly.

 3) In a separate bowl, mix together yogurt/sour cream, egg, and water. 

4) Crumble the goat cheese in a separate bowl.

5) Chop the green onions or chives.

6) Add the egg/yogurt to the flour mixture until it JUST comes together. Add in the chives and goat cheese, mix gently.

 7) Knead about 10-15 times. Then roll it out on a floured surface to about 1 inch thick.

8) Use whatever you have that's round [like a glass] to cut out the biscuits. I made them fairly small which worked out well.

9) Put them on a tray lined with parchment paper, and coat each one in the egg wash and the topping mixture lightly.

10) Bake them at 400F for 10-14 minutes. If they last that long you can freeze them for later ;-)
I served them with soup for dinner or with eggs for breakfast !!
