  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 8 to 10 biscuits

Ingredients

– 2 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting hands and work surface)

– 1 Tablespoon baking powder

– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

– 1 teaspoon salt

– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cubed and very cold

– 1 cup plus 2 Tablespoons cold buttermilk, divided

– 2 teaspoons honey

– 2 Tablespoons butter, melted (for optional topping)

– 1 Tablespoon honey (for optional topping)

Instructions

1-First, start by preheating your oven to 450ยฐF (232ยฐC) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for even baking. Make sure to measure all ingredients accurately to get the best results every time. This step sets the foundation for biscuits that rise beautifully and stay moist inside.

2-Next, in a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until they’re fully mixed. This helps distribute the leavening agents evenly, which is crucial for a good lift. Now, cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and work it into the dry mix using a pastry cutter or your fingers until it looks like coarse crumbs, creating those desirable flaky layers.

3-Then, pour in the cold buttermilk and stir gently just until the dough forms remember, overmixing can make the biscuits tough. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it 3-4 times to bring it together without warming it up too much. Pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle for uniform baking.

4-After that, use a round cutter to cut out the biscuits by pressing straight down, which ensures they rise properly. Place them on your prepared baking sheet with space between each one. Bake for 12-15 minutes until they’re golden brown, then let them cool a bit before enjoying. For adaptations, substitute ingredients for vegan or gluten-free needs and check baking time to adjust as necessary.
