Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup low-fat milk
- 1 tablespoon honey
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 all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 3
Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add them to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 4
In a separate small bowl, combine the low-fat milk and honey. Stir until the honey is completely dissolved.
Step 5
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the milk and honey mixture.
Step 6
Gently stir the mixture with a fork until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky and lumpy.
Step 7
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times just until it comes together. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
Step 8
Using a sharp knife or a biscuit cutter, cut the dough into 8 equal biscuits. Arrange them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each biscuit.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits have risen and the tops are lightly golden.
Step 10
Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on a rack before serving.
