Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (always nice and hot with biscuits, you want to put a strong fire under their butts so they puff up nicely). Butter a sheet pan.

Whisk to combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Add the cubed butter, and work it with your fingertips, breaking down the butter and coating the little butter pieces with flour. When it looks like large crumbs, stir in the cheddar and scallions, then make a well in the center. Pour in the buttermilk, and fold the flour over it, and gently distribute the liquid throughout. Make sure you don't overstir, it should look sort of crumbly.

Place the biscuits on the pan and bake for 10 minutes. Enjoy!!!
