Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 0.5 cup scallions, finely chopped
- 0.75 cup buttermilk, cold
- 2 tablespoons milk (for brushing, optional)
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 all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the finely chopped scallions until evenly distributed.
Pour in the cold buttermilk and gently mix until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch-thick rectangle.
Using a round biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each.
Gather the scraps of dough, reshape, and cut until all the dough is used.
If desired, brush the tops of the biscuits with milk for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm. Enjoy!
