Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the buttermilk. Stir until the dough comes together.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it 3-4 times. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick circle.
- Use a floured biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits. Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure they are touching each other.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.
- While the biscuits are baking, make the honey butter by combining 1/4 cup of softened butter with 2 tablespoons of honey. Mix until well combined.
- Serve the warm biscuits with the honey butter and enjoy!
