• Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or foil and set aside. 


• In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, baking soda, and salt.
• Toss cold butter and cream cheese cubes into the dry ingredients and, using a pastry blender or your fingers, mix in the cold butter until you have a mixture of flat pieces and crumbly, pea sized bits of butter mixed into the flour. Add 3 tablsespoon of everything bagel seasoning and mix in.

Food Processor Instructions

• Add the flour, baking powder, sugar, baking soda, and salt to the bowl of a food processor and pulse a few times to combine. Add the cold cubed butter and cream cheese and pulse 5 to 6 times, or until most of the pieces are pea-sized or slightly smaller. Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl, stir in the everything bagel seasoning, and continue with the recipe as written.

Both Methods

• Make a well in the center of the mixture and add the cold buttermilk. Gently mix the buttermilk and the dry ingredients together until you have a fairly uniform, loose dough. The flour won't look all mixed in and that's okay. It will come together.
• Dump the shaggy dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Using your hands, gently bring it everything together into a rough square.
• With a bench scraper or knife, cut into four smaller squares. Stack the pieces of biscuit dough on top of each other. Press into a square again. Repeat this cutting and stacking procedure 2 more times.
• Pat the dough into a rectangle at least ½ to ¾ inch thick. Using your favorite biscuit cutter or cookie cutter, cut out your biscuits. Gather your scraps as you go and gently re-form them together and cut as many biscuits as you can.
• You should get 8 to 12 biscuits, depending on the size of your biscuit cutter. Place sheet pan of biscuits in the freezer for 10-15 minutes while you preheat your oven.
• Remove biscuits from the freezer. Brush the tops of the biscuits lightly with an egg wash made of one egg whisked with one tablespoon of water.
• Sprinkle the top of each biscuit with more everything bagel seasoning or turn over and dip into a small dish of the seasoning.
• Bake in a 425°F oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool for at least five minutes before eating.
