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

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
3. 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.
4. Make a well in the center and pour in the cold buttermilk. Stir gently with a fork until just combined; do not overmix.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Gather the scraps and repeat until all the dough is used. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
8. While the biscuits are baking, prepare the honey butter by mixing the softened butter and honey together until well combined.
9. 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.
