Large 2½-inch cookie or muffin scoop
- 250 grams all-purpose flour, about 2 cups, loosely packed
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 3 heaping tsp everything bagel seasoning blend
- ½ tsp Kosher salt
- ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced, about 3 Tbsp
- ½ cup milk, cold
- ½ cup sour cream, cold
- ¼ cup cooled melted butter
- 3 Tbsp melted butter, for brushing on biscuits
Mix together the dry ingredients. Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C). In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, 2 tsp baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, 3 heaping tsp everything bagel seasoning, ½ tsp Kosher salt, and ¼ tsp black pepper. Whisk well.
Add the wet ingredients. To the flour mixture, add 3 Tbsp of thinly sliced scallions, ½ cup cold sour cream, ½ cup cold milk, and cooled melted butter. Stir well to incorporate. The dough will be sticky.
Form the biscuits. Spray a large cookie or muffin scoop with nonstick cooking spray, then portion into 6 large biscuits. Scoop them onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Brush each with a little melted butter. Optional: you can sprinkle each with a little cracked black pepper if you like!
Bake in a preheated oven. Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown (both on the top and the bottom) and have puffed up. Best served warm or room temperature the day they're baked.
- Buttermilk swap: Substitute sour cream and milk with 1 cup cold buttermilk.
- Freeze: Arrange shaped biscuits on a sheet pan and freeze until solid (2–3 hours). Transfer to a freezer-safe bag and freeze for up to 2 months.
- Bake from frozen: Place on a parchment-lined sheet, brush with melted butter, and bake as directed, adding about 5 minutes.
- Portioning: A large cookie scoop works well; use a smaller scoop to make 12–15 smaller biscuits.
