Ingredients

Units Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup cold salted butter, cubed
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons honey

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients: Start with cold salted butter straight from the fridge. Measure and sift the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl to ensure even distribution.
  2. Cut the butter into the flour: Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to quickly work the cold butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. This step is key to developing flaky layers in the biscuits.
  3. Add wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and honey until well combined. Pour this mixture into the flour and butter mixture, stirring gently just until all ingredients are combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the dough tender.
  4. Shape and chill the dough: Turn the sticky dough out onto a floured surface. Fold the dough over itself several times to help develop layers, then pat it into a 1-inch thick round. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to solidify the butter and aid flakiness.
  5. Cut and bake: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Cut the chilled dough into rounds using a biscuit cutter or a glass. Place the rounds on a baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the biscuits are golden brown and puffed.

Notes

  • Keep butter cold to create steam during baking and ensure flaky layers.
  • Mix dough just until combined to maintain a tender and light texture.
  • Use fresh baking powder and baking soda for the best rise.
  • Folding the dough before chilling helps build flaky layers.
  • Bake immediately after cutting to maximize fluffiness.
