Fluffy Homemade Biscuits

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!
