Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups (15 ounces) flour, plus more for dusting
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- Salt
- 1 cup softened margarine
- 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped green onion, green parts only
- 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons buttermilk
Preparation
Step 1
In a large bowl, sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and a pinch of salt together. Add the margarine and mix together by hand until mixture is slightly dry and crumbly, and the margarine is reduced to pea-sized crumbs. Mix in the cheddar cheese and green onions. Add the buttermilk and knead. Turn the mixture out onto a floured cutting board or work surface and knead a few more times. Roll the dough to about an inch thick and form into a rectangle. Cut into 12 equal squares. Place on lined baking sheet, slightly spaced apart.
Bake until the top appears golden brown, cracked and firm, 10 to 12 minutes.
Makes 12 biscuits.
