Stir in buttermilk until combined (dough may appear slightly dry).

Cut into twelve 2-inch squares and transfer to prepared baking sheet. Bake until light brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to wire rack and let cool 5 minutes. Serve warm.

• Instead of rolling the dough, cutting round biscuits, then rerolling the scraps to cut more, we roll the dough into a rectangle and cut 12 square biscuits.

"EVERYTHING" BISCUITS WITH VEGETABLE CREAM CHEESE

Steps:

• Combine the poppy seeds, sesame seeds, dried garlic, dried onion and flaky salt on a small plate (see Cook's Note).
• Position a rack on the bottom shelf of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine the flour, baking powder, sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt in a food processor. Pulse until combined. Add the butter and pulse until the butter is in pea-size pieces. Add 1 cup of the buttermilk and pulse several times until the dough just comes together but is not fully incorporated.
• Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface and pat into a 12-by-6-inch rectangle with the long side facing you. Lightly mark the dough in thirds vertically. Using a bench scraper or your hands, fold the dough upon itself like a letter: Pick up the first third and fold it on top of the center third. Next, pick up the remaining third and fold it over the first two. Using your hands, press the dough back into a 12-by-6-inch rectangle, making sure the work surface and dough are still lightly floured and repeat the letter fold. Press the dough into a 10-by-7.5-inch rectangle, then cut into twelve 2 1/2-inch squares. Brush the tops with buttermilk and then dip into the "everything" spice blend.
• Arrange on the prepared baking sheet and bake until the bottoms are golden brown and the biscuits are cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes, rotating the pan once halfway through baking. Let the biscuits cool slightly on the baking sheet for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, beat the cream cheese with the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons buttermilk in a large bowl. Stir in the scallions, bell peppers, carrots and celery. Season with kosher salt. Transfer to a small serving bowl and serve alongside the warm biscuits.

Wrap and refrigerate 1 hour., Preheat oven to 450°. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to an 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim crust to 1/2 in. beyond rim of plate; flute edge. Line unpricked crust with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil. Bake 5 minutes; remove foil.
