In a large mixing bowl stir together the flour, salt, baking powder, cheese, and chives, put in the fridge to chill.
Working quickly, mix together the chilled butter, with the flour mixture squishing the butter up with your fingers so they are mostly all flat pieces. Try not to warm the butter too much.
Mix in the buttermilk and stir until a shaggy dough forms. You should still be able to see pieces of butter throughout.
Dump the dough onto a well floured surface and begin to roll out so that the dough is 1 ¼ inch thick. Cut out round biscuits and place them on a baking sheet.
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and brush the tops of the biscuits and chill them for 15 minutes. Top with cheddar cheese.
Bake the biscuits for about 10 – 15 minutes or until golden brown and flaky.
