Cheddar Scallion Drop Biscuits
I love biscuits. Soft, buttery, and flaky, it really doesn’t get much better than that. I’m not sure why I’ve never experimented with baking my own biscuits. Maybe it was that I didn’t own a biscuit cutter until about a week ago. Or maybe it’s because I don’t normally keep buttermilk stocked in the refrigerator. But really, I”m guessing the reason is that my husband absolutely loves bisquick biscuits. I just couldn’t face the possible disappointment of laboring over homemade biscuits only to hear that they didn’t live up to his favorite processed biscuit mix. It just didn’t seem worth it.
And then I saw these biscuits. (Well, not these exactly…the other version had blue cheese, which would never work in our house, but you get the idea.) And they looked incredible. And better yet, easy to make. Exactly what I wanted to eat for dinner that night. So I stopped at the store for the necessary ingredients and made them immediately. Wonderful. Cheesy, soft, and delicious. Mike wasn’t a fan of the scallions, but for the next batch (there will definitely be another batch), I’ll just make half with scallions and half without.
The defining moment was when I asked Mike how they compared to his beloved bisquick biscuits. *Pause*, then, “well, I really like bisquick biscuits.” Complete disappointment must have showed on my face, because he quickly recovered with “but I like these better.” And you know what? These are so easy, and so good, that I don’t even care if he’s lying. I’m making them again.
Cheddar Scallion Drop Biscuits
Ingredients:
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons sugar
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick or 3 ounces) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
3 scallions, finely chopped
1 cup well-shaken buttermilk
Directions:
Preheat oven to 450°F. Whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Blend in the butter with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in cheese and scallions. Add buttermilk and stir until just combined.
Drop dough in 12 equal mounds about 2 inches apart onto a buttered large baking sheet, or one lined with parchment paper. Bake on middle rack until golden, 16 to 20 minutes.
*You can also flash freeze the biscuits and bake them straight from the freezer. Just add a few minutes to the baking time.

Welcome! I'm Megan and it's my hope that here you'll find food that has been made with love and recipes that are shared with joy. Thanks for stopping by! 
I have wanted to make cheddar biscuits forever. They look sooo good. I need to make them. I would prob eat the whole batch.
yum! i love biscuits as well and these look great with added cheese and scallions!
also, random question – was it hard to go to your own domain? Did all your followers, posts, etc stay the same or did you have to change a lot of things? Have you noticed a difference since before? I'm thinking about it and don't really know all the advantages/disadvantages so anything would be helpful! Thanks! 🙂
Yummy!
Just an FYI… I've never owned a biscuit cutter. A clean can works very well. I use a can that used to hold chopped green chilies. Remove both ends, wash well, be sure the ends aren't too sharp. I use one for about a year or so before recycling it. It's not fancy. But it works…just in case you want to try some cut biscuits one of these days. 🙂
What a stinker! (hubby) LOVE these and must make them asap!!
Yum! I love biscuits, no matter homeade or our of a can. Delish!
i love the idea of freezing these! i always have those days when i make a soup and think "damn too late to make some biscuits to throw in the oven".. but if u make a big batch of these u could quickly heat one or two up to have with it. great idea! <3

First time to your blog. These biscuits look wonderful but I have to admit that your English Muffin bread has really tempted me. I saved the recipe and plan to make it very soon. I can already taste the butter and jam on it!
These look great! I am a biscuit fanatic, so I'll have to give them a try.
those biscuits look so very very tasty….could use a few right now!
These are all the very great,sumptuous and creative recipes of different cakes,cookies and biscuits which are all too fantabulous for sure.
