Directions
  1. Easy Buttermilk Biscuit Recipe with Cheddar & Parmesan 1. Make the biscuits: Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line two 18 x 13–inch sheet pans with parchment paper and grease them with butter.
  2. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Stir in the cheddar, scallions, and Parmesan.
  3. Add the cold butter and work it into the flour mixture with your fingers, coating the cubes with flour and pinching each one to flatten (make a snapping motion with your thumb and first two fingers).
  4. Add the buttermilk to the dry mix and stir with a fork (you can hold the fork stationary while spinning the bowl with your other hand) until a loose, shaggy dough begins to come together. Using a spoon, drop the biscuit dough in ¼-cup-ish dollops onto the prepared pans, keeping them evenly spaced apart. Bake until light golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, Make the topping: Melt the butter and Old Bay in a small saucepan over medium heat. Brush, pour, or dab the butter topping on the biscuits and serve.
