Fluffy Honey Biscuits Recipe

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 12–15 minutes
Yield: 8–10 biscuits

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
  
  

• 1 tablespoon baking powder
  
  

• ½ teaspoon baking soda
  
  

• ½ teaspoon salt
  
  

• 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter (cut into cubes)
  
  

• ¾ cup buttermilk (cold)
  
  

• 2 tablespoons honey (plus more for brushing)
  
  

Optional Honey Butter (for serving):

• ¼ cup softened butter
  
  

• 2 tablespoons honey
  
  

• Pinch of cinnamon (optional)
  
  

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
   
   

2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
   
   

3. Cut in butter: Add cold butter cubes to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
   
   

4. Add wet ingredients: In a small bowl, stir together the cold buttermilk and honey. Pour into the flour mixture and gently stir just until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.
   
   

5. Shape the dough: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat it into a ¾-inch thick rectangle. Fold the dough over itself once or twice (for extra layers), then pat it out again. Cut with a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass.
   
   

6. Bake: Place biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, slightly touching if you want soft sides or spaced apart for crisper edges. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until golden brown.
   
   

7. Honey glaze (optional): While the biscuits are still warm, brush the tops with a little extra honey for a glossy, sweet finish.
   
   

8. Make honey butter (optional): Mix softened butter, honey, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Serve alongside warm biscuits.
   
   

Tips:

• Keep everything cold for the flakiest texture.
  
  

• Don't twist your cutter—press straight down to avoid sealing the edges.
  
  

• These pair beautifully with tea, fried chicken, or even as a sweet breakfast with fresh fruit.
