Saute the scallions in 3 tablespoons butter until they are soft. Set the scallions aside and let cool.

Sift the flour, baking soda, and salt into a large mixing bowl. Cut the 1/2 cup butter into small pieces and cut it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

In a small bowl mix together the 3/4 cup buttermilk and the green food coloring, until it is a very dark shade of green.

Make a well in the center of the flour mixture, and add the scallions and the green buttermilk.

Mix until a very sticky dough just holds together.

Turn out onto a floured surface and knead 20 times.

Pat out until 1/2 inch thick.

Cut with a 2 inch cutter. Place biscuits on a baking sheet about 3 inches apart.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.

No specific allergen information. Please check the ingredient list for possible allergens.
