--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2       c            All-purpose flour
   2       ts           Baking powder
     1/2   ts           Baking soda
     1/2   ts           Salt
     1/2   c            Chilled butter --
                        - cut into small pieces
     3/4   c            Buttermilk
   2       tb           Chives -- chopped

  Preheat the oven to 425°F. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking
  soda, and salt in a mixing bowl. Stir with a fork to blend and mix
  well. Add the butter and, using you fingers as a pastry blender,
  work the butter and flour together until the mixture looks like
  irregular crumbs. Add the buttermilk and the chives. Mix only until
  the dry ingredients are moistened. Gather the dough into a ball,
  pressing it to hold together and turn it onto a lightly floured
  surface. Knead lightly about 12 times. Pat the dough into a circle,
  keeping it about 1/2 to 3/4" thick. Use a 2" cookie cutter to cut
  rounds and place on a baking sheet. Bake about 10 minutes, or until
  the tops are lightly browned. Serve warm.
