Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a rimmed baking sheet.
Step 2
In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, buttermilk, and bacon fat. The mixture should come together in a thick, sandy dough.
Step 3
On a floured work surface, flatten the dough to get an even thickness. It should be about 8 by 11 inches (25 by 28 cm) and about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick. Dust with flour if sticky.
Step 4
Using a wineglass or a biscuit cutter 3 inches (7.5 cm) in diameter, dip the rim in flour and cut out the biscuits. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Gather the scraps, pat flat again, and cut out more biscuits, or form them by hand.
Step 5
Brush the tops of the biscuits with the cream, then sprinkle evenly with the sea salt, onion flakes, poppy seeds, and sesame seeds. Bake for 12 minutes, or until the tops are golden.
