Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F

Sauté the scallions in 3 tablespoons butter until they are soft. Set the scallions aside and let cool.

Sift the flour, baking soda, and salt into a large mixing bowl. Cut the 1/2 cup butter into small pieces and cut it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

In a small bowl mix together the 3/4 cup buttermilk and the green food coloring, until it is a very dark shade of green.

Make a well in the center of the flour mixture, and add the scallions and the green buttermilk.

Mix until a very sticky dough just holds together.

Turn out onto a floured surface and knead 20 times.

Pat out until 1/2 inch thick.

Cut with a 2 inch cutter. Place biscuits on a baking sheet about 3 inches apart.

Mix the melted butter and buttermilk and brush on the biscuits.

Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
