Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, very cold and diced
• 0.75 cup buttermilk, cold
• 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for flavor)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold, diced butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Work quickly to ensure the butter remains cold.

Step 4

Create a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the cold buttermilk. If using honey, add it now. Gently stir with a fork or spatula until the mixture just comes together into a dough. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it 3–4 times, just enough to bring it together into a cohesive ball.

Step 6

Pat the dough into a 1-inch-thick round. Using a 2.5-inch round biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, about 1 inch apart. Re-roll the scraps as needed, but handle the dough lightly to keep the biscuits tender.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden brown.

Step 8

Remove the biscuits from the oven and immediately brush the tops with the melted butter for added flavor and shine.

Step 9

Serve warm with butter, jam, or your favorite spread. These biscuits are also perfect for pairing with hearty soups or stews.
