Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 0.75 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Green onions, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Melted butter (optional, for brushing)
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 flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the cold, cubed butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Work quickly to prevent the butter from warming up.
Step 4
Add the milk and chopped green onions to the bowl. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until the dough just comes together. Avoid overmixing; the dough should be slightly sticky.
Step 5
Using a large spoon or a cookie scoop, drop mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. You should have 8 roughly equal biscuits.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on the edges and lightly golden on top.
Step 7
If desired, brush the tops of the hot biscuits with melted butter for extra flavor.
Step 8
Serve warm and enjoy! These biscuits are best eaten fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
