Preheat the oven to 425°F and grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the flour and butter. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
2 cups self-rising flour, ¼ cup cold unsalted butter
Stir in the cheddar, scallions, and salt until evenly distributed.
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, ¼ cup finely chopped scallions or chives, ¼ teaspoon salt
Pour in ¾ cup of cold buttermilk and gently stir until the dough just comes together. Add a little more milk if it seems too dry.
¾ to 1 cup cold buttermilk or whole milk
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a ¾-inch-thick rectangle. Then cut out biscuits with a 2 ½-inch cutter.
Place the biscuits close together on the baking sheet for softer sides or spaced apart for crispier edges.
Bake for 16–20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.

The calories listed are an approximation based on the ingredients in the recipe card and a serving size of 1 biscuit. Actual calories will vary.
Start with less buttermilk or milk and add more only if needed.
This recipe makes between 6–8 biscuits, but it largely depends on how thick you pat the dough out and the exact size of the biscuit cutter.
Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days or refrigerate for up to 4 days.
