Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

03

Step

Add the cold butter pieces to the flour mixture. Using a pastry blender or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining. (Prep time: 5-7 minutes)

04

Step

In a separate small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the cold buttermilk and honey until well combined. (Prep time: 1 minute)

05

Step

Pour the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture. Gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be shaggy. (Prep time: 2-3 minutes)

06

Step

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Gently pat the dough into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick. (Prep time: 1 minute)

07

Step

Fold the dough into thirds, like a letter. Turn the dough 90 degrees, and pat it again into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle. Repeat this folding and turning process two more times, for a total of three folds. This creates flaky layers. (Prep time: 3-5 minutes)

08

Step

After the final fold, gently pat the dough into a 1-inch thick rectangle. (Prep time: 1 minute)

09

Step

Use a 2-inch round cookie cutter to cut out biscuits. Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, about 1 inch apart. (Prep time: 3-5 minutes)

10

Step

Gently press the remaining dough scraps together and cut out additional biscuits. (Prep time: 2-3 minutes)

11

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 13 to 15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown. (Bake time: 13-15 minutes)

12

Step

Let the biscuits cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm with honey, jam, or your favorite toppings. (Cooling time: 5 minutes)

For the flakiest biscuits, it's crucial to keep all ingredients cold. Consider chilling the flour and bowl before starting.
Don't overmix the dough! Overmixing develops the gluten, resulting in tough biscuits. Mix just until the dough comes together.
If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to a measuring cup, then filling the rest of the cup with milk to equal 3/4 cup. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
For a richer flavor, brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter before baking.
