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 whole milk
- 6 teaspoons honey
- 1 unit egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 2 teaspoons turbinado sugar (optional, for sprinkling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually pour in the milk, stirring gently with a fork until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and pat it out to about 1/2-inch thickness.
Using a 2 to 2.5-inch round biscuit cutter, cut out 12 rounds of dough, re-rolling scraps as needed.
Place half of the rounds onto the prepared baking sheet. Spoon 1 teaspoon of honey into the center of each of these rounds, keeping the honey away from the edges.
Top each honey-filled round with another dough round and gently press the edges together to seal.
Brush the tops of the biscuits with the beaten egg and, if desired, sprinkle with turbinado sugar for extra crunch.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.
Let the biscuits cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm, with a surprise burst of honey in every bite!
