Categories     Cheese     Bread     Side

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter
4 ounces cheddar, shredded
1 cup buttermilk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, black pepper, and salt in a large bowl until combined. Using a pastry blender or your fingers, work cold butter into flour mixture until butter is in small, flattened pieces and mixture is crumbly. Stir in scallions and 1/2 cup cheese. Add 3/4 cup buttermilk, and stir just until dough comes together, adding up to 1/4 cup additional buttermilk, 1 tablespoon at a time, if necessary. (Dough should be neither sticky nor crumbly.)
  • Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface, and knead 3 to 4 times just to bring dough together. Pat dough out into an 8- x 6-inch rectangle (3/4 to 1 inch thick); cut dough into 8 rectangular biscuits.
  • Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup cheese into 8 mounds about 3 inches apart on prepared baking sheet, scattering cheese just a bit so some cheese will stick out from under biscuits. Place each biscuit rectangle on a mound of cheese on baking sheet. Bake biscuits in preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
