    Biscuits with scallions

    Tender and buttery, Scallion Biscuits are an excellent side or to hold your favorite sandwich fillings.

    These Scallion Biscuits were first created to hold and complement a flavorful chicken salad with red grapes and dill, and there are certainly many other sandwich fillings that would be amazing on them. (Maybe roast beef with Cheddar, a BLT, tuna salad, or ham & Swiss!) 

    They're not just for sandwiches though: they're also a perfect side for roast chicken, fried chicken, a hearty stew, or a plate of roast beef hash.

    In fact, I'm having trouble thinking of something they wouldn't be tasty with! (Well okay, bubble gum ice cream, I guess... they wouldn't be good with that.)

    Why you'll love this biscuit recipe

    The flavors in these biscuits are lovely: the onion flavor of the scallions plus the slight tang from buttermilk in the batter.

    These biscuits come together relatively quickly, and because they're made with butter they have loads of flavor plus layers and flakiness. This is why they're just as tasty for sandwiches as they are with a main dish.

    🔪 How to make this Scallion Biscuits recipe

    Step 1: Combine the dry ingredients

    Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and other dry ingredients.

    Step 2: Add the butter

    Cut the butter into small pieces and cut them into the dry mixture with a pastry blender.

    Step 3: Stir in buttermilk and scallions

    Biscuit dough with chopped green onions

    Stir the buttermilk through the butter-flour mixture as well as chopped fresh scallions.

    Step 4: Cut the biscuits

    Turn the mixture out onto a floured surface and knead it a few times. Pat the dough and use a biscuit cutter to cut out the biscuits. Place these on a lined baking sheet.

    Step 5: Bake!

    Bake the biscuits for just under 20 minutes, until they're lightly browned and puffed.

    Notes:

    • Be sure your butter is very cold before you cut it into the dry mixture. Cold pieces of butter in the biscuits are what will give the finished biscuits lots of flakiness.

    Feel free to enjoy one of these biscuits in its simplest form: warm and slathered with butter!

    Total Time 37 mins
    Course Bread, Comfort Food, Sandiwches, Side Dish
    Servings 16 servings

    Ingredients
      

    • 3 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 tablespoon baking powder
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • ½ teaspoon baking soda
    • ¾ cup butter, unsalted and cold
    • 1 cup buttermilk
    • 4-5 fresh scallions, ragged tops and white bulb ends removed, chopped (to yield about ½ cup chopped scallions)

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat the oven to 425° F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat baking mat. 
    • In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda.
    • Slice the butter into small pieces. Use a pastry cutter to work the butter into the dough.
    • Add the buttermilk and chopped scallions to the bowl and stir them through the dry mixture.
    • Turn the mixture out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead the dough a few times until it is smooth.
    • Roll the dough to a ½-inch thickness. Use a 3-inch round cutter to cut circles out from the dough. Place the dough circles onto the prepared baking sheet, about 1 inch apart.
    • Bake the biscuits for about 17 minutes, until they are lightly browned and puffed. Remove the biscuits to a cooling rack to cool completely, or serve them warm immediately.
    • The biscuits can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. Makes about 16 biscuits.

    Notes

    • Be sure your butter is very cold before you cut it into the dry mixture. Cold pieces of butter in the biscuits are what will give the finished biscuits lots of flakiness.
