Take the humble biscuit. Add some spice and cheese (because you can never go wrong with cheese), and you've got some crusty, flaky, tender, explosive-flavor-in-your-mouth goodness.

Parmesan Scallion Biscuits
Ingredients:
2 C. All-purpose flour
1/2 c. cornmeal
1 T Baking powder
1/2 tsp. Baking soda
1/2 tsp. sea salt
1/2 Cup of butter, cut into 1/2 in. cubes, cold
***tip: stick butter in the freezer for a couple minutes to get it really cold
1/2 C. grated parmesan
1/2 tsp. freshly ground course black pepper
2 scallions, chopped
3/4 c. buttermilk, cold
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment.
1. Whisk together flour, cornmeal, leavenings, and salt.
2. Add chilled butter to dries and use fingertips to rub in until the mixture resembles course meal. **Uniformity is not an objective here; irregularly sized lumps and bumps of butter mean flakiness!
3. Add pepper, parmesan, and onions. Mix to combine.
4. Add buttermilk, and mix just until a dough starts to form.
**Don't overwork the dough or you'll get tough biscuits!
5. Bring dough to a lightly floured surface and knead just a couple of times so that it all comes together.
6. Cut the dough into squares, or whatever shape you like. A biscuit cutter is useful.
**For crusty sides, place the biscuits two inches apart. For tender sides and pull-apart biscuits, line them next to each other.
7. Sprinkle with some sea salt and course black pepper.
8. Bake for 18-20 minutes, until golden brown.
