Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold, cut into small cubes)
• 0.75 cup Buttermilk
• 2 tablespoons Honey (optional, for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the cold butter into the flour mixture until the texture resembles coarse crumbs. Be careful not to overwork the butter—the small chunks will create beautifully flaky layers.

Step 4

Create a well in the center of the dry mixture and pour in the cold buttermilk. Gently fold the ingredients together using a spatula or wooden spoon until a soft, sticky dough forms. Avoid overmixing.

Step 5

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat it into a square approximately 1-inch thick.

Step 6

Fold the dough in half, then rotate it 90 degrees and fold it again. Repeat this folding process 2 more times to create layers in your biscuits.

Step 7

After the final fold, pat the dough out again to about a 1-inch thickness. Use a biscuit cutter or the rim of a floured glass to cut out your biscuits. Be sure to press straight down without twisting to maintain the layers.

Step 8

Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they’re close together but not touching. This helps them rise better.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Optional: As soon as the biscuits come out of the oven, brush their tops with melted honey for a touch of sweetness and extra shine.

Step 11

Serve warm with butter, jam, or your favorite toppings. Enjoy these delightful biscuits with loved ones!
