Ingredients:

- 6 individual TBS COLD butter
- Pinch of salt

- Pinch of sugar
- ¾ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Pepper jack or blend)
- ½ - ¾ cup diced ham
- ½ cup scallions sliced thin
- ¾ cup buttermilk
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- In a bowl, combine butter, flour, baking powder and baking soda.
- Blend with a pastry cutter, fork or fingertips until crumbly (you could also do just this stage in your food processor).
- Add in salt, pepper, cheese, ham and scallions and toss to combine.
- Make a well in the center of the mixture, add buttermilk and gently stir it together until combined. Don't over-mix.
- You can then scatter flour on your counter or parchment paper and form dough into a square and cut into biscuits with a biscuit cutter or simply scoop 2-3 TBS (or a cookie scoop) at a time and drop on your baking sheet (lined with parchment paper or lightly greased)..
- Bake for 10 minutes or until done to your liking. Making traditional sized biscuits will yield about a dozen.
