Buttermilk Biscuit with Honey
Created by: Howcan Team
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 cut into small pieces
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
- Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in 1 cup of buttermilk and 2 tablespoons of honey. Stir until just combined and a soft dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead the dough a few times until it comes together.
- Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick round. Use a floured 2 1/2-inch round cutter to cut out biscuits. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, with the edges touching for soft sides.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
- Remove from the oven and brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
