Ingredients

For the Biscuits:

  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ cup (115g) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • 1 cup (240ml) buttermilk (or milk if you don’t have buttermilk)

For the Honey Butter Drizzle:

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract


Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Biscuit Dough

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to make clean-up easy.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Stir to mix evenly.
  3. Add the cold butter to the flour mixture. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs, with small pea-sized pieces of butter.
  4. Pour in the buttermilk and stir gently until the dough just begins to come together. Avoid overmixing, as that can lead to dense biscuits.

Step 2: Shape and Cut the Biscuits

  1. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Gently pat the dough down to about 1-inch thickness, being careful not to overwork it.
  2. Using a round biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass, cut out the biscuits, pressing straight down to avoid twisting the cutter (which can affect the rise).
  3. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are close together for soft edges.

Step 3: Bake the Biscuits

  1. Bake the biscuits for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and slightly crisp.
  2. Once baked, remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool slightly on a wire rack.

Step 4: Make the Honey Butter Drizzle

  1. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
  2. Stir in the honey and vanilla extract until smooth and well-combined.
  3. Once the biscuits are slightly cooled, drizzle the honey butter generously over the warm biscuits.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

  1. Serve the biscuits warm as a side dish, snack, or with your favorite jam or butter.
  2. Enjoy the soft, flaky biscuits with the sweet and rich honey butter drizzle.

Tips for the Best Biscuits

  1. Cold Butter is Essential: Cold butter is key for achieving flaky, tender biscuits. It creates air pockets in the dough, making the biscuits light and airy.
  2. Avoid Overmixing: Stir the dough only until the ingredients are combined. Overmixing will result in tough biscuits.
  3. Bake Right Away: The baking powder and baking soda work as soon as they are activated by the liquid, so bake the biscuits right after mixing the dough for the best rise.
