Hungarian hot paprika to sprinkle on topor regular paprika, if preferred
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°. Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and baking soda in a large bowl. Drizzle in 6 Tbsp. butter and mix lightly with your hands just to distribute butter. Make a well in center of bowl and add scallions and sour cream. Mix with a wooden spoon until no dry spots remain and mixture forms a shaggy dough.
Using 2 spoons, drop about ½-cupfuls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing at least 1½" apart, to make 8 generous biscuits. If preferred, you can make 10-12 smaller biscuits.
Brush tops with remaining 2 Tbsp. butter; sprinkle with paprika. Bake biscuits until golden brown on top and bottom, about 18-20 minutes for larger biscuits and about 12–15 minutes for smaller biscuits. Enjoy warm with a slathering of butter, or let cool to room temperature and freeze for future use.
