Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar or honey
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Kosher or sea salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, very cold, cut into cubes
- 1 cup whole milk or buttermilk, very cold
- Honey Butter: 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Pinch of Kosher or sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add cold milk or buttermilk and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the tops are golden brown.
- While biscuits bake, melt butter for honey butter in a small saucepan or microwave, then stir in honey and a pinch of salt.
- Remove biscuits from oven and brush immediately with honey butter.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Use very cold butter and milk to ensure flaky biscuits.
- For extra height, handle the dough minimally and avoid overmixing.
- Honey butter can be made in larger quantities and stored for several days in the fridge.
- Biscuits are best served fresh but can be reheated in the oven for a few minutes.
