Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Wet Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 3/4 cup cold buttermilk, plus more for brushing
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- Flaky sea salt for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
- Cut in butter: Add the cold, cubed butter and cut it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add wet ingredients: Make a well in the center, pour in the buttermilk, and stir just until the dough comes together.
- Create layers: Turn the dough out, pat it into a rectangle, fold, rotate, and repeat 3 times for flaky layers.
- Cut and bake: Pat the dough to 3/4-inch thickness, cut into biscuits, place on a baking sheet, brush with buttermilk, and bake for 14–16 minutes.
- Finish with honey butter: Mix melted butter and honey, brush over warm biscuits, and sprinkle with sea salt. Serve warm.
Notes
- For extra flavor, freeze your butter before cutting it into the flour.
- Leftover biscuits can be stored in an airtight container for 2 days or frozen for up to 1 month. Reheat in a 300°F oven before serving.
