Ingredients
Biscuits
- 6 tablespoons butter, frozen
- 2 cups (250g) flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt (if you don't like salt, use 1/4 tsp)
- 3 tablespoons garlic scapes, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons scallions, finely diced
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
- 1 cup (245g) buttermilk, cold
Topping
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 teaspoon sea or kosher salt (if using table salt, use less)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F and prepare a 9-inch pie pan by spraying it with nonstick spray.
- Grate butter using the fine edge of your grater. Grate onto parchment paper and then place it in the freezer while you prepare the remaining ingredients. (I grab 1 stick of butter, which is 8 tablespoons, and then grate until there are 2 tablespoons left. I use the remaining 2 tablespoons as topping on the biscuits. This method utilizes all your butter and saves your fingers when grating!)
- Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to a large bowl. Use a whisk to sift ingredients.
- Get grated butter out of the freezer and, using a fork, incorporate into dry ingredients.
- Add the garlic scapes, scallions, and cheese and mix.
- Add in the buttermilk and stir until mostly combined, being careful not to overwork the batter.
- Scoop out 6-7 even portions of the batter and place in the pie pan, one next to the other. (I use my hands, this gets a bit sticky.)
- Cut the two tablespoons of butter into 6 thin slices and top each biscuit with the butter. Sprinkle with salt.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until fluffy and golden brown.
- Serve warm with more butter. (optional to add more butter)
