Biscuits

Honey Butter

Method

Biscuits

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Cut in Butter

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

  4. 4

    Add Buttermilk and Honey

    Pour in the buttermilk and honey. Stir gently with a fork until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

  5. 5

    Shape the Dough

    Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Fold the dough over itself 2-3 times, gently pressing down to help the layers form.

  6. 6

    Cut the Biscuits

    Using a floured biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out biscuits from the dough. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  7. 7

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.

  8. 8

    Cool

    Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.

Honey Butter

  1. 9

    Prepare Honey Butter

    In a small bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter and honey. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

  2. 10

    Serve

    Serve the honey butter alongside the warm buttermilk biscuits.
