Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tbsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, and 1 tsp salt.
  2. Step 2: Cut 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until it resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces.
  3. Step 3: Pour in 1 cup cold buttermilk and gently mix with a spoon until just combined; the dough will be sticky but do not overmix.
  4. Step 4: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and fold it over 3-4 times to create layers. Pat the dough to about 1-inch thickness.
  5. Step 5: Use a 2 1/2-inch round biscuit cutter dipped in flour to cut out biscuits, pressing straight down without twisting.
  6. Step 6: Place biscuits on a parchment-lined baking sheet about 1-inch apart. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown on top.
  7. Step 7: While biscuits bake, melt 3 tbsp unsalted butter and stir in 2 tbsp honey until combined.
  8. Step 8: Remove biscuits from oven and immediately brush the honey butter glaze over the tops. Serve warm.
