Makes about 12 biscuits

Ingredients

1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2/3 cup teff or other whole grain flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, diced and chilled
6 scallions, white and light green parts, very thinly sliced
3/4 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon milk
Shredded Parmesan for sprinkling (optional)

Method

Heat oven to 425°F. Sift flours, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a large bowl. Add butter and use your fingertips or a pastry cutter to work butter into flour until no pieces larger than peas remain. Stir in scallions and buttermilk, stirring just until mixed.

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, gather it into a ball and knead once or twice. Press down until dough is about 1/2-inch thick. Cut out biscuits with a round 2 1/2-inch cutter or the top of a glass. Place biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet. Press scraps together and cut out more biscuits. Brush tops of biscuits with milk; if you like, sprinkle tops with a pinch of Parmesan. Bake until biscuits are risen and just golden on the bottoms, 12 to 13 minutes. Serve warm or room temperature.
