Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.5 cups Green onions (finely chopped)
- 0.75 cups Whole milk
- 1 large Egg (lightly beaten)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Work quickly to keep the butter cold.
Stir in the chopped green onions until evenly distributed.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the milk and egg. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough will be slightly sticky.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop approximately 2-tablespoon portions of dough 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 top.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving. Serve warm for best results.
