Ingredients

• 2 cups self-rising flour, plus more for kneading
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 7 tbsp. very cold butter, cut into pieces
• 3/4 cup buttermilk, plus additional for brushing
• 1/2 cup shredded Irish cheddar or white cheddar, plus more for topping
• 1/4 cup sliced green onion

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Whisk together flour and baking soda in a bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blender until texture resembles coarse crumbs, 3-5 minutes. Make a well in center of flour mixture and pour in buttermilk. Stir with a fork just until mixture starts to come together to form a shaggy dough.

3. Transfer dough to a floured work surface and press into a rectangle. Fold into thirds using a bench scraper. Press again into a rectangle. Roll out dough to 1/2 inch thick. Sprinkle with half of the cheese and half of the green onion.

4. Fold dough into thirds. Dust with flour, if necessary, and roll out again to about 1/2 inch thick. Top with remaining cheese and green onion. Fold into thirds and roll out again to about 1/2 inch thick. Cut out biscuits with a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter.

5. Transfer biscuits to prepared baking sheet. Brush lightly with buttermilk. Sprinkle tops with about 1 tsp additional shredded cheese. Bake until cooked through and golden brown, 15-18 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
