Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 400ºF.
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Place the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and garlic powder in a bowl.
- Add chopped cold butter to the bowl.
- Use a fork or pastry cutter to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse meal. You shouldn’t be seeing large chunks of butter in the mixture, but it should be incorporated with the flour.
- Add the scallions, the cheddar cheese, and mix until combined.
- Add the evaporated milk and stir with a spatula until a sticky dough forms.
- Generously sprinkle flour on the counter. Carefully transfer the dough to the floured counter.
- Using floured hands, pat the dough into a 9†circle, about 3/4†thick.
- Use a round cutter to cut circles of dough. Place each circle on the prepared baking sheets, 2 inches apart from each other.
- Gather the scraps of dough together, form another circle, cut with the round cutter, and repeat until you run out of dough.
- Bake the biscuits in the pre-heated oven to about 15 minutes.
- As soon as you remove them from the oven, brush melted butter on top of them.
- They are best eaten fresh out of the oven, but will re-heat wonderfully in a toaster oven as well.
- They also freeze beautifully for up to 1 month in a ziplock bag. To re-heat, simply place them in a toaster oven or pre-heated oven for a few minutes until heated through.
