2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until crumbly.
4. Stir in cheddar and green onions.
5. Add sourdough discard and buttermilk. Mix just until combined.
6. Turn dough onto floured surface. Pat into 1-inch thick round.
