Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 0.75 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons honey (for topping)
- 2 tablespoons softened butter (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry blender or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, combine the milk and 2 tablespoons of honey, stirring until well mixed.
Pour the milk and honey mixture into the flour and butter mixture. Stir gently with a fork until the dough begins to come together.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it gently a few times just until it is cohesive.
Roll or pat the dough out to about 1/2 inch thickness.
Using a biscuit cutter or a round glass, cut out biscuits and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
While the biscuits are baking, prepare the topping by melting 3 tablespoons of honey and 2 tablespoons of softened butter together. Stir until smooth.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and brush the tops with the honey butter mixture while they are still warm.
Serve immediately and enjoy your honey biscuits warm or at room temperature.
