Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 5 Tablespoons frozen butter
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk*
  • 3 Tablespoons honey

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 400°
  • Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Grate the frozen butter into the flour mixture and then use a pastry blender or fork to incorporate it until mixture resembles coarse meal. Chill in refrigerator for 10 minutes.
  • Stir honey into buttermilk until well blended. 
  • Add buttermilk mixture to flour mixture and stir just until moist. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and form gently into a ball.  Roll or pat the dough into a rectangle 1/2 inch thick.
  • Fold the dough into thirds (as if folding a piece of paper to fit into an envelope).  Gently re-roll dough into a rectangle, 1/2 inch thick. Fold dough into thirds one more time. Gently roll to a 3/4-inch thickness.
  • Cut dough with a biscuit or cookie cutter to form 10-12 biscuits. Place them 1 inch apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. 
  • Bake at 400° for 10-12 minutes or until golden and cooked through. Remove from pan and cool on wire racks.
