Preheat your oven to 400 degrees f.

Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

In a bowl combine flour, baking powder, salt and pepper and mix.

Cut butter into 8 slices per stick and add to flour mixture.

With a pastry cutter, or in my case very clean hands, cut or squish (Yes, I did just use that term in reference to cooking lol) butter into flour until small clumps form.

Mix in cheese and chives. With a wooden spoons, gently stir in buttermilk and honey.

Once all the liquid has mixed with the flour, gently knead the dough about 4 times.

Do not over knead, you will be breaking down the gluten results in a biscuit rock.

On a lightly floured surface, gently flatten dough out 2 inch thick circle.

Using a large round cookie cutter, cut out circles and place on cookie sheet.

Repeat until you have no dough left.

Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.
