Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  2. Step 2: Cut 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter until it resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter bits.
  3. Step 3: Pour 3/4 cup cold buttermilk into the flour mixture, stirring gently with a fork until just combined — do not overmix, as this creates tough biscuits.
  4. Step 4: Turn dough onto a floured surface and gently knead 3 times to form a 1-inch thick rectangle. Cut into 6 equal squares using a floured knife.
  5. Step 5: Place biscuits on a parchment-lined baking sheet, brush tops with 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, and bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown and puffed.
  6. Step 6: While baking, melt 1/4 cup honey with 2 tablespoons unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat until smooth. Serve warm biscuits with honey butter brushed on top until the edges are crisp and the butter is bubbling.
