Irish Cheddar Scallion Biscuits

Step 1

Preheat a 400°F oven and prepare a greased parchment-lined sheet tray.

Step 2

Using a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt on the lowest setting until combined.

Step 3

Add cold butter to the stand mixer and mix on low until the butter is broken up into small pieces and distributed throughout the flour mixture.

Step 4

Add buttermilk, cheddar, and scallions, then mix until just combined.

Step 5

Roll into an even 3/4“ thick slab, then cut with a biscuit cutter and slice into pieces.

Step 6

Place cut biscuits on prepared sheet trays and place each biscuit a little closer to the center, but still spaced a finger-length apart.

Step 7

Chill biscuits until ready to bake.

Step 8

Whisk egg and water together then brush biscuits with egg wash and bake for 22 - 30 minutes, until they are golden brown. Enjoy!
