Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Whisk together first six ingredients in large bowl. Add butter and rub together with fingertips until mixture resembles cornmeal. Mix in scallions and 1/2 cup cheddar; stir in buttermilk. Mix lightly just until a loose dough forms.
Turn dough onto floured surface and knead lightly. Roll dough onto floured surface and knead lightly. Roll dough to 3/4 inch thickness and cut rounds with a 2-inch biscuit cutter. Re-roll scraps and cut remaining dough. Place biscuits on ungreased baking sheet. Brush tops with cream and top each biscuit with a pinch of cheddar. Bake 15 minutes until tops are golden brown.
