Highlights

  • Prep Time: 20 minutes
  • Cook Time: 15 minutes
  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Servings: 8 biscuits
  • Calories: 280kcal per biscuit

Ingredients

For the Biscuits:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk, chilled
For the Honey Butter:
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

  3. Cut in Butter: Add the cold butter cubes to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or fork to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  4. Add Buttermilk: Pour in the chilled buttermilk. Stir gently with a spatula just until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

  5. Form and Cut Biscuits: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Use a round biscuit cutter or glass dipped in flour to cut out biscuits, pressing straight down without twisting.

  6. Bake: Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

  7. Prepare Honey Butter: While the biscuits are baking, beat together the softened butter, honey, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl until smooth.
