I recently made chive biscuits from scratch using Ina Garten's recipe.
The recipe takes less than 30 minutes and couldn't have been easier for a novice baker like myself.

When it comes to the holidays, there's no celebrity chef I turn to more than Ina Garten. She is, in my eyes, the queen of Thanksgiving cooking.

Whether it's a "grown up" mac and cheese or the perfect potato gratin, Garten has a recipe for all your holiday needs.

So when I decided to try making homemade biscuits for the first time — despite being a very amateur baker — I put my faith in the Barefoot Contessa.

Here's how it all went down.

First, I preheated the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and threw my dry ingredients into the bowl of an electric mixer.

Then I added the butter and began to mix on low speed.

With the mixer still on low, I added the half-and-half.

Then I added the chopped chives.

My dough was ready in mere minutes.

I placed my dough on a well-floured board and began to lightly knead it.

Then I cut out my biscuits.

Once my biscuits were shaped, I whipped up my egg wash.

I brushed each biscuit with the egg wash before throwing my pan into the oven.
