Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Kosher salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.75 cups Buttermilk (cold)
- 0.25 cups Green onions (thinly sliced)
- 1 teaspoons Cracked black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Flaky sea salt
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream or melted butter (optional, for brushing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and kosher salt. Whisk until evenly blended.
Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter into the dry mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits of butter.
Gently stir in the green onions, cracked black pepper, and buttermilk. Mix just until the dough comes together. Do not overwork the dough to keep the biscuits tender.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat or roll the dough into a rectangle about 3/4 inch thick.
Fold the dough into thirds (like folding a letter), turn it 90 degrees, and gently roll out again into a 3/4-inch-thick rectangle. Repeat this folding process two more times to create flaky layers.
Using a 2.5-inch round biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet. Press down firmly but do not twist the cutter to ensure clean edges.
Gather the scraps, gently re-roll them, and cut out more biscuits until all the dough is used.
Brush the tops of the biscuits with heavy cream or melted butter, if desired, for a golden finish.
Sprinkle the tops of the biscuits with flaky sea salt for added flavor and texture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and puffy.
Let the biscuits cool slightly on the tray before serving warm. Enjoy them on their own or with butter, jam, or your favorite spread!
