Prep: 30 minutes
Bake: 22 minutes
Servings: 9 biscuits

Ingredients

  • 270 g AP Flour 2¼ cup
  • ½ tbsp Morton kosher salt
  • 1 tbsp Baking powder
  • ¼ tsp Baking soda
  • ½ cup Unsalted butter cold
  • 1 cup Buttermilk cold
  • 42 g Honey 2 tbsp
  • 1 tbsp Buttermilk for brushing

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium to large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder with a fork.
  • Take your cold butter and grate into the flour. Halfway through, take your fork and fluff the grated butter into the flour. Finish grating and repeat.
  • Whisk your honey into your buttermilk.
  • Pour your buttermilk honey mixture into the well you have created.
  • Using your fork, bring the sides of the well into the center and then mix until a rough dough forms.
  • Take the dough, gently flatten out slightly and fold it over onto itself 2-3 times.
  • Transfer dough to parchment lined baking sheet and gently flatten into a square that's about 1½" thick.
  • Take a knife or bench cutter and cut straight down in a grid pattern to make 9 biscuits.
  • Separate biscuits leaving 1-2 inches between them.
  • Place biscuits in the freezer for about 20 minutes to chill and firm. This step is optional but I find it helps give much better rise.
  • Remove biscuits after chilling, brush tops with buttermilk.
  • Place in the oven on the center rack and bake for about 22 minutes. Biscuits will be a rich golden brown.
  • Transfer to a cooling rack and serve while warm. Enjoy!
