Ingredients
- For the Biscuits
- 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cubed, plus more for greasing
- 4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more as needed
- 3 tablespoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2½ cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup chopped scallions
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1¾ cups low-fat buttermilk
- For the Topping
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning
Directions
- Easy Buttermilk Biscuit Recipe with Cheddar & Parmesan 1. Make the biscuits: Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line two 18 x 13–inch sheet pans with parchment paper and grease them with butter.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Stir in the cheddar, scallions, and Parmesan.
- Add the cold butter and work it into the flour mixture with your fingers, coating the cubes with flour and pinching each one to flatten (make a snapping motion with your thumb and first two fingers).
- Add the buttermilk to the dry mix and stir with a fork (you can hold the fork stationary while spinning the bowl with your other hand) until a loose, shaggy dough begins to come together. Using a spoon, drop the biscuit dough in ¼-cup-ish dollops onto the prepared pans, keeping them evenly spaced apart. Bake until light golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes.
- Meanwhile, Make the topping: Melt the butter and Old Bay in a small saucepan over medium heat. Brush, pour, or dab the butter topping on the biscuits and serve.
