Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, cold and diced
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
- 0.75 cup buttermilk, cold
- 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
Add the cold, diced butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Fold in the grated cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, combine the cold buttermilk and honey, stirring until the honey is dissolved.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the buttermilk mixture.
Gently stir the mixture with a spatula until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick.
Fold the dough in half, turn, and repeat this process two more times to create layers.
Using a round biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Gather leftover dough scraps, gently reshape, and cut additional biscuits.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving warm.
