Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon baking soda
• 3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
• 1 cup cold low-fat buttermilk
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon light olive oil

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, salt, and baking soda.

Step 3

Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes. Add the butter cubes to the flour mixture.

Step 4

Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the cold low-fat buttermilk, honey, and light olive oil until well combined.

Step 6

Create a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the buttermilk mixture.

Step 7

Gently stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.

Step 8

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it a few times until it holds together.

Step 9

Pat the dough into a 3/4-inch-thick rectangle. Fold the rectangle into thirds as if folding a letter.

Step 10

Pat the dough out again into a 3/4-inch-thick rectangle.

Step 11

Use a 2-inch round biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Re-roll the scraps if necessary but try to limit the number of rerolls to keep the biscuits tender.

Step 12

Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until they are golden brown and flaky.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm.
