Garlic Scape and Cheddar Biscuits

These buttery, soft, cheesy Garlic Scape and Cheddar Biscuits utilize a beautifully fragrant early summer ingredient- garlic scapes. Make this anytime of the year using green onions instead of garlic scapes.

Materials

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 3 garlic scapes thinly cut, roughly ⅓ cup; sub for green onions if desired
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese grated
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter frozen
  • 1 cup buttermilk cold
  • 1 - 2 tbsp butter melted

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450 ℉.
  • Using a cheese grater, grate your butter into a dish or plate. Once grated, place back in the freezer while you prep your other ingredients. (You want the butter to be super cold).
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until combined well.
  • Add in your cold grated butter, using a fork to incorporate into the dry ingredients. Next, mix in your garlic scapes and cheddar.
  • Add in the buttermilk and combine. Scrape mixture onto a lightly floured surface and gently form into a thick rectangle. Fold one side over on top of the other, turn, and repeat.
  • Use a round cut out or scraper to form into 8 rectangles or circles (whichever you prefer). Place onto a parchment paper-lined sheet close together. Brush tops with melted butter. Sprinkle with salt.
  • If you don't want to bake all of them right now, at this point you can freeze them. Place biscuits on a tray, not touching, in the freezer for an hour. Then, transfer to a resealable plastic bag and freeze. When ready to eat, bake frozen biscuits same temp as below, but just a few minutes longer.
  • Bake 15 - 20 minutes or until fluffy and golden brown.
