Honey Biscuits

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.75 teaspoons kosher salt
• 0.5 cups butter , cut into 1/4-inch pieces
• 0.75 cups buttermilk
• 2 tablespoons honey

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. 2

   Stir together flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Cut in butter using a pastry blender or two forks until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

3. 3

   Stir honey and buttermilk together in a cup. Pour into flour mixture and stir until mixture comes together.

4. 4

   Turn mixture out onto a lightly-floured work surface. Press dough into a rectangle shape about 1/2 inch thick. Fold mixture into thirds, like a letter, then turn 90 degrees and press again into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle. Fold dough into thirds again, turn 90 degrees, and press into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle. Fold dough into thirds one more time, and now press into a thicker rectangle, about 1-inch thick.

5. 5

   Cut biscuits with a 2-inch round cookie cutter. Place biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart. Gently press remaining dough back together and cut biscuits; place onto the baking sheet. Press together any remaining dough scraps to form final biscuits.

6. 6

   Bake in the preheated oven until biscuits begin to turn golden, 13 to 15 minutes. Cool on a rack for a few minutes before serving.
