Preheat the oven to 450°.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

Cut in the cream cheese and shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbles.

Stir in the green onions.

Make a well in the center of the flour mixture.

Add the milk and stir with a fork to form a soft ball of dough.

Turn out the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 30 seconds.

Roll or pat the dough to ½-inch thickness and then cut with a biscuit cutter.

Place the biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet and bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until done.
