Moldy Biscuits

Ok, i'll admit that i'm on a halloween binge and having a bunch of fun! These aren't realy moldy. For regular biscuits just leave out the coloring.

Preheat the oven to 425f.

Saut 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.

Mix the melted butter and buttermilk and brush on the biscuits.

Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
