I set out to create a savory cross between a scone and a biscuit. I think it was successful. They are buttery, cheesy, peppery, and that small bit of chive adds a hint of onion and the flecks of green make it pretty. We split them and filled them with eggs and turkey sausage for a nice breakfast sandwich. My son was begging for gravy to eat them as biscuits and gravy. I think he has the right idea, and I will definitely make these again with gravy. These biscuits would also be a really great accompaniment to any southern meal. They don't require a lot of time, and they bake very quickly. I also used my Fat Cat Biscuit Cutter, which makes these giant biscuits. They are handmade, and such a great piece of craftsmanship. They also have a sharp edge that will cut through the dough, so that It will get a good rise. If you use a cup or dull edge, your biscuits or scones won't rise well.
White Cheddar Pepper Biscuits
Makes 7 large biscuits
Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups of fresh milled soft white wheat flour--about 2 cups of grain
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp pepper
1 tbs dried chives
5 tbsp cold butter
1 1/2 cups grated white cheddar
1 cup of milk plus 2 tbsp
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Mill the grain on the finest setting. Add all the dry ingredients to a large bowl, including the chives. I freeze by butter and grate it into the dry ingredients. Incorporate the butter and flour together. Grate white cheddar cheese and add it to the flour mixture. Add the milk to the flour mixture and incorporate. Dump out the dough on the counter. Press the dough out to a rectangle. Cut in half and stack the two halves on top of each other. Press the dough back out to another rectangle. Cut in half and stack the two halves again. Press the dough back out to another rectangle, and do this 2 more times. This creates the layers inside the biscuits. Press the dough out to about an inch thick, use a large biscuit cutter, and make 7-8 cuts. Pro tip: dust the wooden biscuit cutters with a little flour before you start cutting, this will prevent sticking.
Place the biscuits on a cookie sheet, and bake 5 minutes at 425 degrees. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees and bake another 8-10 minutes.
Let them cool. Enjoy!!

First series examples of link the 3940 with flat, sunken subsidiary link dials, rare champagne dial link variants, and early platinum examples with glossy, lacquered dials are especially interesting – and still are priced quite reasonably on the secondary market.
It was the beginning of a great adventure that's now lasted more than 25 years, Scheufele told us in an interview last year. Today, the L.U.C collection sits apart from the rest of Chopard's catalog link as the home of its finest in-house watchmaking: The journey started with the link time-and-date caliber 1.96, but now includes all kinds of complications and inventions – link Sapphire Strike, anyone? Production remains low, in 2021, Chopard produced just 4,000 movements for its L.U.C collection.
If I may link make a confession, I very rarely partake in movement gazing. I’m a dial-side guy, and IWC link makes some of the most interesting-looking dials out there. In this case, though, there’s something worth checking out on the backside. That link would be the column-wheel caliber IWC 69385, the same movement found in the Portugieser line.
I believe that if you're not the guy building the watch yourself, then your name doesn't belong on a watch, he says. "So my name was link out of it. I started to think about what I could connect it to, and the most important thing is that I want to build a longstanding brand. I want to create something everlasting. My culture is link Armenian, and I came across the word for eternity – havidenagan – so I commercialized it and link made it into two words."
