Homemade Honey Butter Biscuits
These biscuits are wicked simple and ready in ~30 minutes from start to finish. I like making them when I want something homemade but don't have all morning to spend in the kitchen.
Ingredients
Stuff You Need (~9 biscuits)
- 3 cups AP flour, plus extra for dusting
- 1 1/2 Tbsp baking powder
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup cold unsalted butter, 1 1/2 sticks
- 1 cup + 2 Tbsp cold milk
Honey Butter
- 1/4 cup salted butter, 4 Tbsp
- 6 Tbsp honey
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
- Grate cold butter into flour mixture and work in with hands until crumbly with pea-sized pieces.
- Pour in cold milk and stir with wooden spoon until shaggy dough forms.
- Turn dough onto floured surface and gather into rough ball.
- Flatten to 1 inch thick, fold over itself, and repeat 3-4 times.
- Pat dough to 3/4 inch thickness.
- Cut biscuits with round cutter, pressing straight down without twisting.
- Place biscuits on parchment-lined baking sheet touching slightly.
- Bake 15-18 minutes until golden brown.
- Melt butter and honey in small saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly.
- Brush honey butter over warm biscuits and serve.
Notes
Keep butter cold for flakiest biscuits. Don't twist cutter when cutting or biscuits won't rise properly.
