Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 cups whole-wheat pastry flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, pepper, and salt. Use a pastry cutter, or your fingers, to work in the butter pieces until the mixture is crumbly.
  3. Use a fork to stir in the scallions and the cheese. Stir in the buttermilk until the dough comes together (adding more buttermilk or flour, a tablespoon at a time, if necessary to help the dough come together—dough will neither be sticky nor crumbly). 
  4. Transfer dough to a lightly floured cutting board and knead 3 to 4 times. Pat dough into an 8" X 6" rectangle; fold 1 short side a third of the way over the center then fold opposite short side over folded end (like a business letter fold).
  5. Rotate dough clockwise 90 degrees, pat out dough, and repeat folding again. Pat out into one final 8" X 6" rectangle and cut into 8 equal rectangle pieces.
  6. Place on prepared baking sheet and bake until golden brown, about 10 to 15 minutes.
