Equipment

Food processor
half sheet pan
Parchment paper
biscuit cutter or knife
Rolling Pin
Sharp knife
Pastry brush

Ingredients

2 cups flour
2 tbsp baking powder
1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1 stick unsalted butter 4 oz; cut into small cubes
1 cup buttermilk + 2 tbsp to brush the tops before baking
1/2 cup garlic scapes finely minced or blended

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 F. (If you are going to chill the biscuits, preheat while chilling.)
Either finely mince or blend the garlic scapes in a food processor. Set aside.
1/2 cup garlic scapes
Add the flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, cubed butter, and cheese to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse for 5-7 seconds until the mixture resembles sand.
2 cups flour, 2 tbsp baking powder, 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp kosher salt, 1 stick unsalted butter
Add the minced scapes and buttermilk. Pulse 5 times until the mixture comes together.
1 cup buttermilk
On a lightly floured surface, form the dough into a square or rectangle approximately 1/2 inch thick. You may need to add extra flour on top of the biscuits to make them easier to handle. Try to add as little as possible, but you may need an extra 1/4 to 1/3 cup.
Use a biscuit cutter or knife to cut out biscuits then transfer to a prepared baking sheet.
Refrigerate or freeze the biscuits for 15-30 minutes (optional, but recommended).
Brush with extra buttermilk or milk, sprinkle with salt, and bake for 15-18 minutes or until fluffy and golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool to room temperature on the tray.
Serve as desired or store in an airtight container for 2-3 days.

Notes

The final quantity of biscuits will vary depending on how thick you roll the dough and the cutter you use.
