(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Pizza/Flatbread

Ingredients

  • 2 cups self-rising flour, plus more for kneading
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 7 tbsp. very cold butter, cut into pieces
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk, plus additional for brushing
  • 1/2 cup shredded Irish cheddar or white cheddar, plus more for topping
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onion

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Whisk together flour and baking soda in a bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blender until texture resembles coarse crumbs, 3-5 minutes. Make a well in center of flour mixture and pour in buttermilk. Stir with a fork just until mixture starts to come together to form a shaggy dough.

  3. Transfer dough to a floured work surface and press into a rectangle. Fold into thirds using a bench scraper. Press again into a rectangle. Roll out dough to 1/2 inch thick. Sprinkle with half of the cheese and half of the green onion.

  4. Fold dough into thirds. Dust with flour, if necessary, and roll out again to about 1/2 inch thick. Top with remaining cheese and green onion. Fold into thirds and roll out again to about 1/2 inch thick. Cut out biscuits with a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter.

  5. Transfer biscuits to prepared baking sheet. Brush lightly with buttermilk. Sprinkle tops with about 1 tsp additional shredded cheese. Bake until cooked through and golden brown, 15-18 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
