Ingredients
6 C all purpose flour, sifted
4 T baking powder
10 t sugar
4 t kosher salt
1 t baking soda
2 C cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes (2 sticks)
2 C scallion greens, sliced
2 t black pepper, cracked
2 C & 3T buttermilk
to taste sea salt
Method
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a baking sheet. Stir together the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and baking soda. Cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Scatter the scallions and pepper over the mixture, then slowly add 1 1/2 cups of the buttermilk, mixing just until the dough comes together.
Pat out the dough into a 1 1/2-inch-thick square and cut it into 8 squares.
Place the dough squares on the prepared baking sheet, brush with the remaining buttermilk and sprinkle with sea salt. Bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
