Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
3/4 cup whole milk
1/4 cup honey (for glaze)
2 tablespoons melted butter (for glaze)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. Cut in cold cubed butter using a pastry cutter or fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Add the milk and stir just until the dough comes together—don’t overmix.
5. Turn dough onto a floured surface, pat it to 1-inch thick, fold it once or twice, and gently press again.
6. Use a biscuit cutter to cut straight down—do not twist.
7. Arrange biscuits on the baking sheet, edges just touching.
8. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown.
9. While baking, mix honey and melted butter to create glaze.
10. Brush biscuits with honey butter immediately after baking. Serve warm.
Notes
For taller biscuits, keep the butter cold and don’t overwork the dough.
Folding the dough builds flaky layers—don’t skip this step.
For a crisp golden top, use a pastry brush to evenly apply the honey butter while biscuits are hot.
