Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup low-fat milk
- 1 tablespoon honey
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.
Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add them to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate small bowl, combine the low-fat milk and honey. Stir until the honey is completely dissolved.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the milk and honey mixture.
Gently stir the mixture with a fork until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky and lumpy.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times just until it comes together. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
Using a sharp knife or a biscuit cutter, cut the dough into 8 equal biscuits. Arrange them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each biscuit.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits have risen and the tops are lightly golden.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on a rack before serving.
