Scallion Biscuits

I found this in the May 2007 Gourmet and they are excellent.  They're great with eggs and also with any barbecue.

2 C. all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
3/4 stick (6 Tbsp.) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2" cubes
1 c. chopped scallions
3/4 c. plus 1 Tbsp. whole milk

Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 450°F.  Whisk together, flour, baking powder, and salt.  Blend in butter with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse meal.  Add scallions and 3/4 cup milk and stir with a fork just until the dough forms.  Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead 6 to 8 times, do not over work.  Pat into an 8-inch square (1/2" thick).  Cut into 16 squares and transfer to a buttered baking sheet, about 1 1/2" apart.  Brush with remaining tablespoon of milk, then bake until golden, 12-15 minutes.  Serve and Enjoy!
