2. Combine the dry ingredients (all-purpose flour to pepper) in a large bowl.
3. Cut in the butter using a pastry blender, or use your fingers, until the mixture resembles coarse meal, but be sure to leave some large pea-size bits of butter, too.
4. Stir in 1 cup (250 mL) of the cheddar and the chives. 5. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg and
soured milk.
6. Pour over the dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden
spoon just until a soft dough forms.
7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and
pat into a circle about 1-inch (2.5 cm) thick.
8. Cut out 12 biscuits using a 2-inch (6 cm) cutter,
re-rolling the trimmings if necessary.
9. Arrange the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet.
10. Brush the tops lightly with the egg, sprinkle with remaining cheese and a few mustard seeds.
11. Bake for 5 minutes, then turn the heat down to 375°F (190°C) and bake another 10-12 minutes until the biscuits are golden and the cheese has melted.
12. Let cool on a wire rack.
