Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold, cut into small cubes)
- 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 0.5 cup Scallions (thinly sliced)
- 0.75 cup Whole milk
- 1 large Egg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and sliced scallions, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the mix.
In a separate bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the milk and egg until combined.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly sticky.
Using a large spoon or cookie scoop, drop generous spoonfuls of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on the tops and edges.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Enjoy warm on their own or with a pat of butter.
