Serves 8

Ingredients

All-purpose flour
2 cups
Baking powder
1 tablespoon
Salt
1/2 teaspoon
Unsalted butter
1/2 cup, cold and cubed
Milk
3/4 cup, cold
Honey
2 tablespoons
Butter, for serving
to taste
Honey, for serving
to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, with some larger pea-sized pieces of butter remaining to ensure extra flakiness.
  4. Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the cold milk and honey. Stir gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix, as this will keep the biscuits tender and airy.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together. Pat the dough into a rectangle about 1-inch thick.
  6. Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits, placing them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Gather any scraps, gently knead, and roll out again to cut additional biscuits.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and have risen beautifully.
  8. Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite jam, and enjoy the delightful taste of homemade goodness!

Tips

  • 💡 For added flavor, consider mixing in shredded cheese, herbs, or spices into the dough before cutting.
  • 💡 If you prefer a sweeter biscuit, increase the honey to 3 tablespoons or add a sprinkle of sugar on top before baking.
  • 💡 For a lighter biscuit, you can substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
