These rustic Cheddar-scallion biscuits are perfect to serve alongside soup on a cold day. I find that these biscuits are better when they are cooled slightly than straight out of the oven.

SCALLION & CHEDDAR DROP BISCUITS - VEGAN

Scallion & Cheddar Drop Biscuits - Vegan image

Veganized from Gourmet Magazine. These were fantastic! Made for St. Patrick's Day 2012. They turned out fluffy and flaky and were so simple. I used Daiya brand vegan Cheddar cheese shreds, and reduced the amount of cheese to 1 full cup (instead of 1 1/2, which was in the regional recipe) I also used my Pampered Chef Large cookie scoop to make the drop biscuits puffy and even!

Tips:

To achieve the best results, ensure all ingredients are cold before starting. This includes the butter, milk, and cheese.
Use a pastry blender or two forks to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Avoid overworking the dough, as this can result in tough biscuits.
Grate the cheddar cheese using a large-hole grater. This will help it distribute evenly throughout the biscuits.
Add chopped scallions to the dough for an extra layer of flavor. You can also add other herbs or spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or black pepper.
Drop the dough by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheet. Space them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Bake the biscuits in a preheated oven at 450°F for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
Serve the biscuits warm with your favorite toppings, such as butter, honey, or jam.

These cheddar scallion drop biscuits are a quick and easy treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are perfect for potlucks, picnics, or anytime you need a delicious snack.
