Description
Warm, flaky Salted Honey Butter Buttermilk Biscuits combine the tangy richness of buttermilk with sweet honey and buttery layers for a delightful treat—perfect for breakfast, a side dish, or an afternoon snack.
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
1 tsp kosher or table salt
½ cup cold salted butter, cubed
¾ cup buttermilk
2 Tbsp honey
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment or grease it.
- In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or fingertips to work it into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk and honey. Add to the flour mixture and stir until just combined.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and fold it over itself several times to build layers. Roll the dough into a 1-inch thick round and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
- Cut rounds using a biscuit cutter and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until golden brown on top.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with additional honey, butter, jam, or gravy.
Notes
- For herbed biscuits, stir fresh herbs like thyme or chives into the dry ingredients.
- For a savory twist, add ½ cup shredded sharp cheddar to the dough.
- For extra sweetness, brush with a honey glaze made from melted butter and honey after baking.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute with a gluten-free flour blend and add ½ tsp xanthan gum.
