Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine flour, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, combine oil, yogurt, scallions, herbs and pepper. Blend yogurt mixture into flour mixture quickly and thoroughly to form a soft dough. On a floured surface, pat dough into a ¾ inch thick circle and cut into eight wedges. Separate wedges and place on an oiled baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes until golden and knife inserted in center of biscuit comes out clean. Great with soups, stews, or salads.
