Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

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

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold
  • 3/4 cup milk or buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons honey

Honey Butter Glaze

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon honey

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: Whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl to ensure even distribution of leavening and seasoning for consistent biscuit rise and flavor.
  2. Cut in the Butter: Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work cold, unsalted butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter pieces, essential for flaky layers.
  3. Add Liquid and Form Dough: Gradually add milk or buttermilk and honey to the flour-butter mixture, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing which can toughen biscuits.
  4. Shape and Cut Biscuits: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and pat or roll to about 1-inch thickness. Use a biscuit cutter or glass to cut out rounds, gather scraps, and repeat until all dough is used.
  5. Bake Until Golden: Place biscuits on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 425°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes until tops are golden and biscuits have risen well.
  6. Glaze with Honey Butter: While warm, brush biscuits generously with a blend of melted butter and honey to create the signature glossy, sweet finish.

Notes

  • Keep butter cold to form flaky biscuit layers.
  • Use fresh, local honey for best flavor.
  • Don’t overmix dough to maintain tender texture.
  • Place biscuits close but not touching to encourage upward rise.
  • Brush honey butter glaze immediately after baking for optimal absorption and shine.
