Biscuits

Method

Biscuits

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

  2. 2

    Cut in the Butter

    Add the unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  3. 3

    Add Wet Ingredients

    Stir in the buttermilk and honey until just combined. Do not over-mix; the dough should be slightly sticky.

  4. 4

    Shape the Dough

    Turn the dough onto a floured surface. Gently pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Cut into rounds using a biscuit cutter.

  5. 5

    Bake the Biscuits

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Apple Butter

  1. 6

    Cook the Apples

    In a large pot, combine the chopped apples and sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the apples are soft and release their juices, about 15 minutes.

  2. 7

    Add Spices

    Stir in the cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice into the apple mixture.

  3. 8

    Simmer

    Reduce heat to low and let the mixture simmer uncovered for about 1-2 hours, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and becomes a deep caramel color.

  4. 9

    Blend and Store

    Use an immersion blender or transfer to a blender to puree until smooth. Store in jars in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
