Cheddar Green Onion Biscuits

Cheddar Green Onion Biscuits

Does anyone remember those garlic cheddar biscuits that Red Lobster used to serve with every meal?? Well that was the original inspiration for my Cheddar Green Onion Biscuits. In fact, I used to just make the recipe from the box of Bisquick and add shredded cheddar cheese and garlic but have stepped it up a notch by make home made buttermilk biscuits instead. These are the perfect addition to round off a meal of soup or stew in the fall. Even without the Bisquick, these are quite simple and quick to make.

3 cups all purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup (1 1/2sticks) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
1 cup buttermilk
2 tsp onion salt
2/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/3 cup chopped green onions


Preheat oven to 425°F. Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, onion salt and baking soda in large bowl to blend. Using fingertips, rub 3/4 cup chilled butter into dry ingredients until mixture resembles coarse meal. I like to use a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour mixture. Add buttermilk, cheese, and onions and stir until evenly moistened. Using 1/4 cup dough for each biscuit, drop biscuits onto baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart. Bake until biscuits are golden brown on top, about 15 minutes. I drizzle melted butter over the tops at the last 3 minutes of cooking! Cool slightly. Serve warm.
