Description

These Cheddar Scallion Drop Biscuits are a quick and easy baked treat combining sharp cheddar cheese and fresh scallions for a flavorful twist on classic biscuits. Perfectly tender and golden brown, they make a delicious side or snack ready in just 25 minutes.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Wet Ingredients & Additions

  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/3 cup chopped scallions (green onions)
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to blend all your dry components uniformly.
  3. Incorporate Butter: Add cubed cold unsalted butter to the dry mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, providing a flaky texture to the biscuits.
  4. Add Cheese and Scallions: Stir in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese and chopped scallions, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture for consistent flavor in every bite.
  5. Add Buttermilk: Make a well in the center of the dry mixture and pour in the buttermilk. Stir gently just until combined to avoid overmixing, which can make the biscuits tough.
  6. Drop Dough on Sheet: Using a spoon, drop heaping spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
  7. Bake Biscuits: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown and the biscuits have risen fully.
  8. Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and serve your cheddar scallion drop biscuits warm, optionally with butter or your favorite spread to enhance their flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Ensure the butter is very cold before mixing for the best flaky texture.
  • Do not overmix once buttermilk is added to keep biscuits tender.
  • Can add extra sharp cheddar for a more intense cheese flavor.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven for best results.
