Ingredients

• 6 cups sifted all-purpose flour
• 4 tablespoons baking powder
• 10 teaspoons sugar
• 4 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 cups cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes (2 sticks)
• 2 cups sliced scallion greens
• 2 teaspoons cracked black pepper
• 2 cups and 3 tablespoons buttermilk
• Sea salt

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a bak­ing sheet. Stir together the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and baking soda. Cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Scatter the scal­lions and pepper over the mixture, then slowly add 1 1/2 cups of the buttermilk, mix­ing just until the dough comes together.

2. Pat out the dough into a 1 1/2-inch-thick square and cut it into 8 squares.

3. Place the dough squares on the prepared baking sheet, brush with the remaining buttermilk and sprinkle with sea salt. Bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
