Instructions

1.	Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). Prepare your baking sheet by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.

3.	Mix in the grated cheese and green onions or chives, then stir in the buttermilk or sour cream until a sticky dough forms.
4.	Use an ice cream scoop or spoon to drop 12 dollops of dough onto your prepared baking sheet.
5.	Bake the biscuits for 15 to 18 minutes, or until golden brown and puffy.
