2-1/4 cups (550 mL) all-purpose flour
2-1/2 tsp (12 mL) baking powder
2 tsp (10 mL) granulated sugar
1/2 tsp (2 mL) each baking soda and salt
1/2 cup (125 mL) cold butter, cubed
1 cup (250 mL) shredded extra-old Cheddar cheese

In bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, baking soda and salt. Using pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. With fork, stir in cheese and chives; stir in buttermilk to form soft dough.
On lightly floured surface, gently knead dough 10 times. Pat into 3/4-inch (2 cm) thick round. Using 2-1/2-inch (6 cm) floured round cutter and pressing scraps together, cut out 12 rounds.
Bake on parchment paper–lined baking sheet in centre of 425°F (220°C) oven for 12 to 14 minutes or until golden. Serve warm. (Make-ahead: Store in airtight container for up to 24 hours; warm in 350°F/ 180°C oven for 5 minutes.)
