Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and lightly grease a round 9-inch baking pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Stir until evenly mixed.
Add the cold, cubed no-salt-added butter to the flour mixture. Using your fingertips or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate small bowl, combine the skim milk, apple cider vinegar, and honey. Stir well and let sit for about 2 minutes. This will create a buttermilk-like consistency.
Add the baking soda to the milk mixture and stir to combine.
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.
Transfer the dough into the prepared baking pan. Using a spatula or lightly floured hands, spread the dough evenly in the pan.
Place in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the biscuit bread to cool slightly in the pan before turning it out onto a wire rack.
Serve warm. This bread pairs well with low-sodium spreads and can also be a delicious accompaniment to soups or salads.
