Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold, cut into small cubes)
• 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 0.5 cup Scallions (thinly sliced)
• 0.75 cup Whole milk
• 1 large Egg

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and sliced scallions, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the mix.

Step 5

In a separate bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the milk and egg until combined.

Step 6

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly sticky.

Step 7

Using a large spoon or cookie scoop, drop generous spoonfuls of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on the tops and edges.

Step 9

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Step 10

Enjoy warm on their own or with a pat of butter.
