  • 2½ cups all purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 8 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces

  • ⅔ cup buttermilk (alternatively, you can use ½ tablespoon lemon juice + ⅔ cup skim milk)

  • ½ cup green onion, chopped
  • freshly ground pepper,
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter until coarse clumps form.
  3. Add eggs and buttermilk and mix until well combined. Stir in cheese and green onion.
  4. Remove from bowl and transfer to a lightly floured surface. Knead with hands for 1-2 minutes until cheese and onions are well integrated into dough.
