These cheddar scallion biscuits are the best combination of cheesy, buttery, and savory in a bite — perfect right out of the oven, perfect for the rainy, cold weather, perfect for any occasion.
Take a bite into this biscuit, which is just the right amount of crispy around the edges and soft and flaky inside. And hidden at the very middle is a gooey, cheesy center. These biscuits are great as a side dish to impress your family (in minimal time, too!) or to enjoy as a quick snack.
This recipe is courtesy of my friend Brianna Z., who made it for us at our Halloween party (along with these wonderful Jalapeño Poppers!) They’re reminiscent of those Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits that I used to stuff myself with, and now instead of the boxed mix, try this recipe that’s been honed to absolute perfection by Brianna!

☐ 2 cups flour
☐ 1 teaspoon baking soda
☐ 1/2 teaspoon salt
☐ 1 cup buttermilk
