Excellant chive biscuits Juenessa, simply delicious. Thank you for sharing this great recipe with all of us. I enjoyed these big, very tender, flavorful biscuits so much. The outside of the biscuit is crisp while the inside is soft. I will be making these often, they are quick and easy to make. I got to use fresh chives for this, what a treat....Kudos Kato
