Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 4 whole scallions

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1.

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and baking soda in a large bowl. Drizzle in 6 Tbsp. butter and mix lightly with your hands just to distribute butter. Make a well in center of bowl and add scallions and sour cream. Mix with a wooden spoon until no dry spots remain and mixture forms a shaggy dough.

  2. 2.

    Using 2 spoons, drop 1/2-cupfuls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing at least 1 1/2" apart, or into a 12" cast-iron skillet, arranging so sides of biscuits are just touching (you should have 8). Brush tops with remaining 2 Tbsp. butter; sprinkle with paprika. Bake biscuits until tops and bottoms are golden brown on top and bottom, 12-15 minutes.
