Irish Cheddar Spring Onion Biscuits image

By layering and folding the cheese into the dough, à la puff pastry, we get all the cheesy flavor without making the biscuit too dense.

Ingredients

2 cups self-rising flour, plus more for kneading
¼ teaspoon baking soda
7 tablespoons very cold butter, cut into pieces
¾ cup buttermilk, plus additional for brushing
½ cup shredded Irish Cheddar cheese, divided, plus more for topping
¼ cup sliced green onions, divided

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Whisk self-rising flour and baking soda together in a mixing bowl. Add cold butter and cut it into flour with a pastry blender until texture resembles coarse crumbs, 5 to 7 minutes. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the buttermilk. Stir with a fork just until mixture starts to come together to form a shaggy dough.
Transfer dough to a floured work surface. Press into a roughly shaped rectangle. Fold into thirds using a bench scraper. Press again into a rectangle. Flour surface if the dough seems sticky. Roll dough with a rolling pin to 1/2-inch thickness. Sprinkle with half of the shredded cheese and half of the green onions. Fold dough into thirds. Dust with flour, if necessary, and roll out again to about 1/2-inch thickness. Top with remaining cheese and green onions. Fold into thirds and roll out again to about 1/2 inch thickness. Cut biscuits with a 2- or 3-inch biscuit cutter.
Transfer biscuits to prepared baking sheet. Brush lightly with buttermilk. Sprinkle tops with about a teaspoon of grated cheese.
Bake in preheated oven until cooked through and golden brown, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool.

I made these biscuits for my family for breakfast and they loved them! The biscuits were light and fluffy, and the cheddar and spring onions added a delicious flavor.

These biscuits were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I might add a little more butter next time.

I'm not a big fan of cheddar cheese, but these biscuits were still really good. The spring onions added a nice flavor and the biscuits were nice and fluffy.

These biscuits were a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some garlic and herbs next time.
