Biscuits

Honey Butter

Method

Biscuits

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Cut in Butter

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

  4. 4

    Add Cheese

    Stir in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.

  5. 5

    Add Buttermilk

    Pour in the buttermilk and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.

  6. 6

    Shape the Biscuits

    Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Using a biscuit cutter or a knife, cut out biscuits and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  7. 7

    Bake

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

Honey Butter

  1. 8

    Mix Honey Butter

    In a small bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter and honey. Use a whisk or a fork to mix until smooth and creamy.

  2. 9

    Serve

    Once the biscuits are baked, serve them warm with the honey butter spread on top.
