Notes about this recipe

I’ve been making this recipe for years, and adore it. Like others, I use Trader Joe’s everything seasoning for ease. I also used a big ice cream scoop with a lever to portion the dough. I find 450 to be too hot in my oven, so I baked at 425 for 14 minutes and they were perfect.

For me these were just ok. I feel like these were not as soft as I'd like. Im not sure if I made a mistake or it's just the recipe. Not bad but not amazing. I don't think I'd bother with adding cream cheese in a drop biscuit again.

Delicious and came together easily. Used trader joe's everything seasoning. I used an ice cream scoop to portion and got 14 biscuits. 12 minutes is the right amount of time to bake.

Served with more cream cheese and smoked salmon, these made a nice weekend breakfast, with hardly any effort. I was liberal with the topping - next time I'd reduce the salt, since the smoked salmon was also salty.

I used milk instead of buttermilk (it was way too cold to go to the store) and they still turned out great. The biscuit was light and fluffy, while the seeds made for a nice crispy exterior. These felt a bit more special than my regular biscuit recipe, but were not a lot of extra work. We will be making again.

These are wonderful savory biscuits, perfect, in my opinion, with just butter. You can actually taste the cream cheese in the dough, and it makes for a very soft, tender biscuit. I used Trader Joe's "everything bagel" seasoning, which is similar to the mixture Perelman includes with this recipe. With the seasoning ready to go, this is a quick and easy twist on basic buttermilk biscuits.
