Honey Butter Biscuits
Ingredients:
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour (scooped and leveled)
- 2 tablespoons baking Powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons honey
- ½ cup (1 stick) frozen butter
- 1 1/3 cup Buttermilk
Topping
1 tablespoons honey + 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 425°.
Add the flour, baking powder, and salt to a large mixing bowl.
Whisk or stir together.
Grate cold butter into the dry mixture.
Create a well in the dry mixture and add the buttermilk and honey.
Using your hands or a rubber spatula, turn the bowl as you gently mix the ingredients.
Once it comes together, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
Using a bench scraper, fold the dough over on itself, press it down lightly and then rotate the dough.
Continue this fold, press and rotate process until it is no longer sticky and several layers have been created. (about 3 rotations)
Use a 3-inch cookie cutter to cut out your circles.
Do not twist the cutter, it prevents the biscuits from rising.
Lightly flour the inside of the cutter in between cutting if it is sticking.
Place biscuits on baking sheet.
Bake for 13-15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
Melt the 1 tbsp honey and butter together and brush on top of freshly baked biscuits.
