Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 8 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold)
- 3/4 cup Buttermilk (cold)
- 2 tablespoons Honey (optional, for brushing)
- 2 tablespoons Melted butter (optional, for brushing)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes. Add the butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Small pea-sized bits of butter in the mix are perfect to help create flaky layers.
Step 4
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the cold buttermilk. Gently stir the mixture with a fork until the dough just comes together, being careful not to over-mix.
Step 5
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick. Fold the dough over itself in thirds, similar to folding a letter, and pat it out again into a rectangle. Repeat this folding process 2 more times to help create flaky layers.
Step 6
After the final fold, pat the dough out to about 3/4 inch thickness. Using a 2-inch biscuit cutter (or the rim of a glass), cut out biscuits. Press straight down without twisting to ensure the biscuits rise evenly. Gather any scraps, gently re-pat the dough, and cut out more biscuits.
Step 7
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are touching each other slightly (this helps them rise higher).
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
Step 9
If desired, brush the tops with a mixture of melted butter and honey immediately after removing them from the oven for an extra layer of flavor.
Step 10
Serve warm and enjoy! These biscuits pair perfectly with butter, jam, or a drizzle of honey.
