Ingredients

• 6 oz flour (1.25 cups)
• 1.25 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter, cubed
• 4 oz cheddar cheese, grated
• 2 scallions, chopped
• 1/2 cup buttermilk

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

2. Whisk to combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the cubed butter, and work it with your fingertips, breaking down the butter and coating the little butter pieces with flour. When it looks like large crumbs, stir in the cheddar and scallions.

3. Pour in the buttermilk, and toss everything around, thinking of moistening the dough and distributing the liquid instead of working or overstirring the dough. The dough should be relatively clumped together.

4. Flour your countertop lightly and gently pat and roll the dough out into a circle or rectangle. Use a biscuit cutter to cut out little biscuits (or, just cut it up into square pieces).

5. Place the biscuits on a parchment or silicone mat-lined baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Enjoy!!!
