Classic Biscuits with Honey Butter

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Make the Biscuits:

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Stir in cold buttermilk just until dough comes together (do not overmix).

3. Shape & Bake:

  1. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead 2–3 times.
  2. Pat or roll out to about 1-inch thickness.
  3. Cut into rounds with a biscuit cutter and place on the baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

4. Make the Honey Butter:

  • In a small bowl, combine softened butter, honey, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth and creamy.

5. Serve:

  • Serve warm biscuits with a generous smear of honey butter.
  • Perfect alongside breakfast, fried chicken, or just on their own.

Tips:

  • For extra fluffy biscuits, handle the dough gently and don’t twist the cutter when cutting rounds.
  • You can drizzle extra honey over the biscuits for a sweeter treat.
  • Refrigerate leftover honey butter and bring to room temperature before spreading again.

If you like, I can also give you a 5-minute stovetop skillet biscuit version—perfect when you want fresh biscuits without using the oven.

Do you want me to share that version?
