This recipe yields tender, flaky biscuits that are perfect for slathering with honey butter. The preparation time is about 15 minutes, and they bake in just 15 minutes, making them a quick and satisfying side dish for Thanksgiving or any meal.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened (for honey butter)
- Pinch of salt (for honey butter)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Cut in Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add Buttermilk: Pour in the buttermilk and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Shape the Biscuits: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together. Pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Cut out biscuits using a round cutter.
- Bake: Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Make Honey Butter: While the biscuits bake, mix the softened butter, honey, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl until well combined.
- Serve: Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve warm with honey butter spread on top.
