Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 3/4 cup buttermilk, cold
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened (for honey butter)

How to Make Flaky Buttermilk Biscuits with Honey Butter

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Pour in the cold buttermilk and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
5. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it 2-3 times until it comes together.
6. Pat the dough into a rectangle about 1-inch thick. Fold it in half and pat it down again. Repeat this process 2-3 times to create layers.
7. Using a floured biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet, touching each other for soft sides.
8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
9. While the biscuits are baking, prepare the honey butter by mixing the softened butter and honey in a small bowl until smooth and creamy.
10. Once the biscuits are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving warm with honey butter.

Tips for the Best Results

• Always use cold ingredients to ensure flaky layers.
• Avoid over-kneading the dough for the best texture.
• For extra flavor, add herbs or cheese to the biscuit dough.
• Use a sharp biscuit cutter to ensure clean cuts and help the biscuits rise.

Easy Variations

• Add shredded cheese (like cheddar) for cheesy biscuits.
• Mix in fresh herbs such as chives or rosemary for an aromatic twist.
• Incorporate spices like garlic powder for a savory kick.
• Try adding a handful of chopped bacon for a hearty breakfast option.

What to Serve With It

• Scrambled eggs or an omelet
• Fresh fruit or fruit preserves
• Crispy bacon or sausage links
• A side of gravy for dipping
