Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 tablespoon Baking Powder
  • 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Salt

Butter and Liquids

  • 6 tablespoons Cold Unsalted Butter, cubed
  • 3/4 cup Whole Milk or Buttermilk

Honey Butter Topping

  • 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
  • 3 tablespoons Honey

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients and Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Measure all dry ingredients and cube the cold butter into small pieces to keep the dough cold and promote flakiness.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until evenly combined for a consistent base.
  3. Cut in Cold Butter: Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, quickly cut the cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized chunks for texture and flakiness.
  4. Add Milk and Form Dough: Pour in the milk or buttermilk and gently stir with a fork just until the dough holds together; avoid overmixing to keep biscuits tender.
  5. Shape and Cut Biscuits: Turn the dough onto a floured surface, pat gently to about 1/2-inch thickness, then use a biscuit cutter to stamp out rounds and arrange them close together on a baking sheet.
  6. Bake to Golden Perfection: Bake for 10-12 minutes until tops are golden brown and biscuits have puffed up beautifully.
  7. Make the Honey Butter: While baking, mix softened unsalted butter and honey in a small bowl until smooth and creamy for spreading or drizzling.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Brush or spread a generous amount of honey butter over the warm biscuits immediately so it melts in and enhances the flavor.

Notes

  • Keep Butter Cold: Use very cold butter straight from the fridge to help create flaky layers.
  • Don’t Overmix Dough: Mix just until combined to avoid dense, tough biscuits.
  • Use Buttermilk if Possible: Adds moisture and subtle tang for better flavor.
  • Cut Biscuits Closely: Placing biscuit shapes close helps them rise higher.
  • Brush Honey Butter While Warm: Applies best when biscuits are hot for perfect melting.
