Stir to combine until all ingredients are wet and a shaggy dough forms. Be careful not to overmix. DROP THE BISCUITS ONTO A BAKING SHEET: scooping heaping spoonfuls of cheddar bay biscuit dough onto lined baking sheet. Set oven @ 450°F/232°C. Then, drop heaping spoonfuls of biscuit dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Leave about 2" between the biscuits. You should get 8 to 12 biscuits from this recipe, depending on the size of your spoonfuls. Place the biscuits into oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until the biscuits are just starting to turn golden. Remove promptly. BASTE WITH BUTTER: While the biscuits bake, melt the butter in the microwave; 30-45 seconds at 50% power. Add the chives, garlic powder, ranch seasoning, salt, and pepper and stir to combine. Then, while the biscuits are still warm from the oven, baste each biscuit generously with the melted herb butter. Serve warm. Store biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the biscuits on a lined baking sheet and warm in a heated oven for 5 minutes. Brush with fresh herb butter, if desired. Feel free to customize this biscuit recipe with a teaspoon or two of your favorite herbs and spices. Here are just a few of our recommended variations.
