Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 3/4 cup buttermilk, cold
- 2 tablespoons honey (for the honey butter)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened (for the honey butter)
How to Make Fluffy Buttermilk Biscuits with Honey Butter
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Make a well in the center and pour in the cold buttermilk. Stir gently with a fork until just combined; do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead the dough 3-4 times until it comes together, being careful not to overwork it.
- Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits, placing them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Gather the scraps and repeat until all the dough is used. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- While the biscuits are baking, prepare the honey butter by mixing the softened butter and honey together until well combined.
- Once the biscuits are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve warm with a generous dollop of honey butter.
Tips for the Best Results
- Use cold ingredients for the best rise and flakiness.
- Don’t overmix the dough; it should be slightly shaggy.
- For extra flaky biscuits, try folding the dough a few times before cutting out the biscuits.
- Experiment with adding herbs or cheese for a savory twist.
Easy Variations
- Substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a heartier biscuit.
- Add shredded cheese, like cheddar or pepper jack, for a cheesy twist.
- Incorporate fresh herbs such as chives or rosemary for added flavor.
What to Serve With It
- Scrambled eggs or a hearty breakfast casserole.
- A side of crispy bacon or sausage links.
- Fresh fruit or a fruit salad for a refreshing contrast.
