Scallion Biscuits

Photography by Lauren Monaco

Discovered this easy recipe for savory biscuits while sorting my old food magazines. I am no longer one to try elaborate recipes, easy recipes with few steps and healthy ingredients are now what capture my attention. Delighted that this scallion biscuit recipe from Bon Appeitite has made its way into my default recipe list! Taste great with soup, salad, or an omelette!

Here's the recipe with some changes. I made mine with less salt and smaller in size.

INGREDIENTS

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon sugar
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted, cooled, divided
4 scallions, thinly sliced
1½ cups sour cream
Hungarian hot paprika (for serving)

PREPARATION

Preheat oven to 400°.
Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and baking soda in a large bowl.
Drizzle in 6 Tbsp. butter and mix lightly with your hands just to distribute butter.
Make a well in center of bowl and add scallions and sour cream.
Mix with a wooden spoon until no dry spots remain and mixture forms a shaggy dough.

Using 2 spoons, drop about 1/4 cup of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing at least 1½" apart, or into a 12" cast-iron skillet, arranging so sides of biscuits are just touching.
Brush tops with remaining 2 Tbsp. butter; sprinkle with paprika.
Bake biscuits until tops and bottoms are golden brown on top and bottom, 12–15 minutes.
