directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In the bowl of a food processor, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add butter and pulse just until mixture resembles coarse meal, leaving a few pea-sized pieces of butter. (You can also do this in a bowl, using a pastry blender.)

Step 3

Pour into a bowl. Using a fork, stir in Black Diamond cheese and chives until mixed throughout. Stir in buttermilk just until incorporated. Do not over-mix.

Step 4

Gather dough into a ball until it just holds together. Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead briefly. Press into a circle about 3/4 inch (2 cm) thick. Cut into 8 triangles. Transfer triangles to prepared cookie sheet. Brush tops with remaining 1 tbsp (15 mL) buttermilk and sprinkle with sea salt.

Step 5

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden. Serve warm.
