Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, very cold and cut into small cubes
  • 1 cup (240ml) cold buttermilk
  • 4 tablespoons (60g) unsalted butter, softened (for honey butter)
  • 2 tablespoons (40g) real honey (for honey butter)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or two forks, work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized bits visible. Do not overwork.
  4. Pour in the cold buttermilk all at once. Stir gently with a spoon or spatula until just combined; the dough will be sticky and shaggy.
  5. Lightly flour your work surface and gently pat the dough into a 1-inch (2.5 cm) thick rectangle. Fold the dough over itself 2-3 times to create layers, then pat down again to 1-inch thickness.
  6. Using a biscuit cutter dipped in flour, press straight down without twisting to cut out rounds. Place them close together on the baking sheet about 1/2 inch apart for soft sides, or spaced apart for crispier edges. Gather scraps, repeat patting and cutting until all dough is used.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown on top.
  8. While biscuits bake, mix softened butter and honey in a small bowl until smooth and creamy.
  9. Remove biscuits from oven and transfer to a cooling rack for a few minutes. Serve warm with a generous spread of honey butter.

Notes

Keep butter and buttermilk cold for best flakiness. Do not overmix the dough to avoid tough biscuits. Press biscuit cutter straight down without twisting to keep layers light. Dough can be chilled for 10 minutes if too sticky. Honey butter can be made ahead and stored refrigerated.
