Moldy Biscuits - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter
2 scallions, thinly sliced
2 cups flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup buttermilk
green food coloring
1 tablespoon melted butter
1 tablespoon buttermilk

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 425\u00b0F
Saute the scallions in 3 tablespoons butter until they are soft. Set the scallions aside and let cool.
Sift the flour, baking soda, and salt into a large mixing bowl. Cut the 1/2 cup butter into small pieces and cut it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl mix together the 3/4 cup buttermilk and the green food coloring, until it is a very dark shade of green.
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture, and add the scallions and the green buttermilk.
Mix until a very sticky dough just holds together.
Turn out onto a floured surface and knead 20 times.
Pat out until 1/2 inch thick.
Cut with a 2 inch cutter. Place biscuits on a baking sheet about 3 inches apart.
Mix the melted butter and buttermilk and brush on the biscuits.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
