Scallion Biscuits Recipes

QUICK SCALLION BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Combine the milk, zest and lemon juice in a tall glass. Refrigerate and allow to curdle for 10 to 15 minutes, until thick. Sift together the flour, a generous pinch of salt, and baking soda into a medium bowl. Using your fingers gently mix in the butter until an even, but grainy texture is reached, being careful not to melt the butter as you work. Add the soured milk and scallions and stir until the dough comes together. (Dough will be sticky.) Gather the dough into a ball, and refrigerate 15 to 20 minutes, until chilled.
• Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead 3 to 4 times until the dough is smooth. For fluffy biscuits do not over knead the dough! Roll out the dough to about 3/4-inch thickness. Cut with a 3-inch pastry ring or the top of a glass. Arrange the biscuits on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Allow the biscuits to slightly touch and gently adhere when baked. Bake until biscuits are golden, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer to a bread basket or bowl and serve.

CHEDDAR-SCALLION BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper
• Whisk together the flour, Cheddar, Parmesan, baking powder, sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, a few grinds of black pepper and the scallion in a large bowl. Add the cream and the lemon juice. Stir the mixture with a wooden spoon until it just forms a dough. Gather the dough into a ball and transfer it to a flour-dusted surface. Pat it into a 1/2-inch-thick circle. Cut as many mini biscuits as you can with a 2-inch biscuit cutter. Gently press the scraps together and repeat. Arrange the rounds 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets. Brush the biscuits with some cream. Bake them in the middle rack of the oven until they are just golden on the bottom, about 12 minutes.

SCALLION BISCUITS WITH SAUSAGE AND GRAVY

Steps:

• For the biscuits: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Combine all dry ingredients in the bowl of a mixer. On medium speed add heavy cream and scallions, mix just until it pulls together, not wet. On a lightly floured work surface roll out 1/4-inch thick. Cut 3-inch rounds and place on baking sheet lined with parchment paper, bake for 8 minutes. Cool. Yield: about 24 biscuits
• For the gravy: In a saute pan over medium heat cook the sausage in the peanut oil. Remove from pan when thoroughly cooked. In sausage drippings saute onions until translucent and tender sprinkle with the flour and stir with wooden spoon for 2 to 3 minutes. Add water and stir to combine and eliminate any lumps. Bring to a boil. Add salt, pepper and red pepper flakes to taste. Reduce to a simmer until desired flavor develops.
• To assemble: Slice biscuits in half lengthwise. Layer sausage on bottom slice, spoon gravy over top of sausage and place lid on. Serve with your favorite eggs.

SOUR CREAM AND SCALLION DROP BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. 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 1/2-cupfuls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing at least 1 1/2" apart, or into a 12" cast-iron skillet, arranging so sides of biscuits are just touching (you should have 8). 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.

• 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.
