Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, chilled and diced
• 1 cups buttermilk
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 tablespoons melted butter (for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the chilled diced butter into the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your hands to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, mix the buttermilk and honey until combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the buttermilk mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a wooden spoon or spatula just until the dough comes together. Be cautious not to overmix—it’s okay if the dough looks slightly shaggy.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it 3-4 times to bring it together. Avoid overworking the dough.

Step 7

Pat the dough out to about 1-inch thickness. Use a 2.5-inch biscuit cutter to cut out your biscuits, pressing straight down and not twisting. Gather the scraps, re-pat, and cut additional biscuits as needed.

Step 8

Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 1 inch apart.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits are cooked through.

Step 10

Remove the biscuits from the oven and immediately brush the tops with melted butter for a glossy finish.

Step 11

Serve warm and enjoy with your favorite toppings, such as honey, jam, or gravy!
