Notes For Irish Cheddar Scallion Biscuits
- Keep Ingredients Chilled : Cold butter and buttermilk are the secret to flaky biscuits. Don’t allow the batter to get too warm before baking.
- Another real concern is not to Overmix Overmixing the dough will definitely produce a dense biscuit. Mix until the dough forms into a ball.
Substitutions and Variations
- Cheese : Use another kind of cheese, such as sharp cheddar, Gouda, or even Parmesan instead of Irish cheddar.
- Herbs : Substitute chives, parsley or dill for the scallions.
- Buttermilk : No buttermilk? Stir together 3/4 cup milk and 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar.
Make a Healthier Version
Here are some healthier swaps you can make:
- Substitute whole wheat flour for all-purpose.

- Substitute butter for a vegetable-based butter.

Ingredients
Instructions
-
Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Next, fold in the grated Irish cheddar and chopped scallions. Pour in the buttermilk and gently mix until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix—this ensures your biscuits stay light and flaky.
-
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a rectangle about 1-inch thick. Use a biscuit cutter to cut out the biscuits, then place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
-
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown. Serve warm and enjoy!
