Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold)
• 0.75 cup Milk (whole or buttermilk)
• 1 tablespoon Honey (optional for brushing)
• 2 tablespoons Butter (melted for brushing)

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 until well combined.

Step 3

Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add them to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Pour the milk into the bowl and use a wooden spoon or spatula to gently mix until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it holds together. Pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick.

Step 6

Using a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gently reform the scraps of dough to cut out additional biscuits until all the dough is used.

Step 7

Bake the biscuits for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden on top.

Step 8

While the biscuits are baking, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter and combine it with the honey if desired.

Step 9

Remove the biscuits from the oven and immediately brush the tops with the melted butter mixture for an extra layer of flavor.

Step 10

Serve the biscuits warm with butter, jam, or your favorite toppings, and enjoy!
