Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- pastry cutter or fork
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Biscuit cutter (or glass)
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment paper
- Small bowl or hand mixer (for honey butter)
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- ¾ to 1 cup cold buttermilk
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened (for honey butter)
- 3 tbsp honey
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda until well combined.
- Add cold cubed butter and cut into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or fingertips until you get pea-sized pieces.
- Pour in 3/4 cup cold buttermilk and stir gently just until dough comes together. Add more buttermilk if needed.
- Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Pat into a 3/4–1 inch thick rectangle. Fold in half once or twice, then pat again. Cut biscuits with a biscuit cutter or floured glass.
- Place biscuits on baking sheet. Bake for 12–15 minutes until puffed and golden. Optional: brush tops with melted butter after baking.
- While biscuits bake, beat softened butter, honey, vanilla, and salt together until light and fluffy. Adjust sweetness if desired.
- Serve biscuits warm with generous spoonfuls of honey butter. Enjoy the melt-in-your-mouth combo while fresh.
