Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine 6½ cups flour, 3 tablespoons sugar, 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 tablespoon kosher salt, and 1½ teaspoons baking soda. Mix on low speed until combined.
-
Step 2.
Increase the mixer speed to medium-low and add 1½ cups (3 sticks) diced chilled unsalted butter. Mix until the butter pieces are the size of small peas, about 1-2 minutes.
-
Step 3.
With the mixer running on low, slowly pour in 3 cups chilled buttermilk. Mix just until blended; the dough will be shaggy with some dry bits. Do not overmix.
-
Step 4.
Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C).
-
Step 5.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Using a floured rolling pin, gently roll it into a 1½-inch-thick circle. Dip a 3-inch biscuit cutter in flour and cut out biscuits without twisting the cutter. Gather scraps, re-roll, and cut additional biscuits to make 12 total.
-
Step 6.
In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup dehydrated onion flakes, ½ cup poppy seeds, and ½ cup sesame seeds. Set aside.
-
Step 7.
Arrange the biscuits on two baking sheets. Brush the tops with 2 tablespoons melted butter. Dip each biscuit top into the everything topping, then return to the baking sheets.
-
Step 8.
If using eggs: Dip a whole egg in flour, then gently press it into the center of a biscuit top, twisting slightly to create a well without going through the bottom. Crack the egg into the well. Repeat with remaining eggs and biscuits. If not using eggs, skip this step.
-
Step 9.
Just before baking, reduce the oven temperature to 425°F (218°C). Bake the biscuits until golden brown on top, 22 to 25 minutes, rotating the sheets halfway through baking.
