Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 3/4 cup cold buttermilk
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- Cut in cold cubed butter using a pastry blender or fingertips until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter pieces.
- Make a well and pour in buttermilk. Stir with a fork just until dough comes together; do not overmix.
- Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead 2-3 times. Pat into a 3/4-inch thick rectangle.
- Fold dough in half, pat down again to 3/4-inch thickness. Repeat folding 2 more times for layers.
- Cut out biscuits with a 2.5-inch round cutter, pressing straight down without twisting. Reroll scraps once.
- Place biscuits on prepared baking sheet, touching slightly for soft sides or 1 inch apart for crisp edges.
- Bake 12-15 minutes until golden brown. Meanwhile, whisk honey with melted butter.
- Brush hot biscuits with honey butter glaze. Serve warm.
Tips
- For extra flaky biscuits, freeze the butter and grate it into the flour mixture.
- Leftover biscuits can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- Reheat in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes to refresh.
