Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Grease a 9-inch skillet with butter.
Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, and soda into a large mixing bowl. Add the salt and mix. Grate the cold butter into the same bowl.
Gently mix together until the dough forms large crumbles. Add the green onions and lightly mix.
Using your hand, make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the sour cream and ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons of milk. Reserve 2 tablespoons to be used if needed.
Combine the wet and dry ingredients using your hands until the dough just starts to come together. Use the reserved milk if necessary, adding one tablespoon at a time. Bring the dough together into a loose ball in the center of the bowl.
Using a butter knife, cut the dough ball in half and place one half on top of the other. Gently press down to combine the two halves. Repeat this two more times.
Place the dough into the prepared skillet. DO NOT SMASH THE DOUGH. Instead, gently spread the dough to fill the skillet. If you push down on the dough, the biscuits will be tough. The dough spreads when baking so don't fuss too much about filling every nook of the skillet.
Beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water. Brush the top of the biscuit dough with egg wash and sprinkle with a pinch of extra salt if desired. Bake for 25 minutes. Cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
