There is no greater smell in this world than homemade baked goods cooking away in your oven. The delicate scent of chives, warm melty feta, and the smokiness of the paprika, these biscuits are hypnotizing! Is it acceptable to eat a meal made just of a plate full of biscuits? I won’t tell anyone if you don’t. Through the years I’ve made plenty of biscuit recipes. When I’m serving up dinner, especially when there’s lots of sauce or gravy to soak up, I can never go wrong having homemade biscuits on the side.
Ingredients
Flour – I used all purpose. Sugar – Granulated. Baking powder & soda – Make sure you have both. Salt & pepper – Season to taste. Butter – I like to use unsalted so I have full control over the sodium. Egg – Use large eggs. For both the batter and egg wash. Water – Ice cold. Yogurt – Plain. Or sour cream. Chives – Freshly chopped. Feta – Goat cheese, cotija, or halloumi will work instead. Garnish – Smoked paprika and pepper.

Tips for making perfect biscuits
Use cold butter and water. Don’t handle the dough too much, just until the dough comes together. This is how they stay nice and flaky. Push straight down on the biscuit cutter – don’t twist. This will make sure your biscuits rise tall. Don’t have a pastry cutter? Grate cold butter on a box grater, then freeze the flakes for 10 minutes before mixing into the dry ingredients.
How to store feta cheese biscuits
Keep your homemade biscuits in a bread container, cake plate with dome, airtight container, or a sealable freezer bag so they don’t dry out and get stale. They’ll last about 2 days at room temperature. You can also store them in the fridge for a week if you need them to last longer.
Freezing
Store your biscuits in a large freezer bag or airtight container, and they’ll last frozen for 2-3 months. Make sure your biscuits have cooled down completely to room temperature before freezing them. It’s best to let them thaw slowly at room temperature. If you’re in a rush, you can let them thaw in your oven, covered, at the lowest temperature. You can also put them in the microwave for 10 seconds at a time.
