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
• 0.5 cup Green onions, finely chopped
• 0.75 cup Whole milk or buttermilk, cold
• 1 Egg (optional, for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon Water (if using egg wash)

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, granulated sugar, and salt to ensure they are evenly combined.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with small pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.

Step 4

Gently mix in the finely chopped green onions, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dry mixture.

Step 5

Make a well in the center of the bowl and pour in the cold milk or buttermilk. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough biscuits.

Step 6

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently 3-4 times to bring it together. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick circle or rectangle.

Step 7

Using a 2.5-inch biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass, cut out biscuits and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Gather any scraps of dough and repeat the process until all the dough is used.

Step 8

If desired, prepare an egg wash by whisking the egg and water together in a small bowl, and brush the tops of the biscuits lightly for a golden finish.

Step 9

Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.

Step 10

Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving warm.
