Buttermilk Biscuits Recipe 🧈🥛🍯
Ingredients:
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour 🌾
2 tablespoons aluminum-free baking powder (not baking soda) 🍶
1 teaspoon salt 🧂
2 teaspoons honey 🍯
1/2 cup very cold butter (1 stick) 🧈
1 cup + 3 tablespoons cold buttermilk 🥛
Topping:
2 tablespoons honey 🍯
1 tablespoon butter 🧈
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 425°F. 🔥
In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. 🥣
Cut the cold butter into cubes and add it to the bowl. Use a pastry cutter (or fork) to mix until it looks like coarse crumbs. 🍴
Make a well in the middle of the flour mixture, then add cold buttermilk and honey. Stir gently with a silicone spatula until just combined. Don't overmix—it should be crumbly. 🍯
Place the dough on a floured surface and shape it into a rectangle, about 9 inches long. 📏
Fold the left side of the dough into the middle, then fold the right side. Rotate and flatten again, repeating this process 2 more times. 🔄
Shape the dough into a 10 x 7-inch rectangle, about 1 inch thick. 📐
Use a 3-inch cookie cutter to cut 6 biscuits. Don’t twist the cutter—this helps the biscuits rise! Flour the cutter in between. You can chill the biscuits in the fridge while cutting to keep them cold. ❄️
Roll out the remaining dough and cut 2 more biscuits. You should have about 8 total.
Butter a 10-inch cast iron skillet, and place the biscuits inside so they are almost touching. This helps them rise better. You can also use parchment paper on a baking sheet. 🍪
Bake for 15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown. 🌟
Melt the butter and mix with honey. Brush the warm biscuits with the honey-butter mixture. For more browning, bake for 5 more minutes at 450°F. 🍯
Store leftovers in an airtight container or in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can also freeze them. ❄️
Enjoy your delicious, flaky biscuits! 😊
