Description

No kneading or rolling is required to make these tasty, tender biscuits with sharp Cheddar cheese, scallions, and buttermilk.

Ingredients

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon grill seasoning (such as McCormick® Grill Mates® Montreal Steak Seasoning)
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup cold, unsalted butter, shredded on a box grater
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
3/4 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1/4 cup minced green onion, white and green parts
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
2 Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, steak seasoning, and baking soda together in a large bowl. Add shredded butter and blend with your fingertips until the mixture is crumbly.
3 Gradually pour buttermilk into the bowl, stirring with a stiff rubber spatula until you have a soft, moist dough that holds together. Fold in Cheddar cheese and scallions quickly, mixing just until all of the flour is incorporated.
4 Drop biscuit dough onto a large baking pan using a two-tablespoon cookie scoop, spacing them 3 to a row. Gently brush tops of biscuits with melted butter.
5 Bake until biscuits are cooked through and golden brown on the outside and nicely risen, 17 to 22 minutes. Let cool on the pan for about 5 minutes, and serve warm.
