Instructions
Let’s dive into the steps to create these rich, buttery biscuits:
Prepare Your Dough:
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
Cut in Butter:
Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the cold cubes of butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Combine:
Add in the buttermilk and honey and fold gently until the mixture comes together into a soft, slightly sticky dough.
Shape:
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Fold it in half and pat again. Repeat once more to create nice, buttery layers.
Cut:
Using a biscuit cutter, cut circles from the dough. Push straight down — avoid twisting — for fluffier biscuits.
Bake:
Arrange the biscuits on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, touching each other slightly. Bake for 12-15 minutes until tops are golden brown.
Finish:
Remove from oven and brush tops with melted honey butter and a sprinkling of flaky sea salt.
