A quick and easy recipe for tender, flaky buttermilk biscuits paired with a creamy honey butter spread. Perfect for cozy occasions and last-minute baking needs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ¾ cups (345 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 cup (240 ml) cold buttermilk
  • Honey Butter Spread:
  • ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • Pinch of salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt until evenly combined.
  3. Add ½ cup cold, cubed unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or two forks to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter bits.
  4. Pour in 1 cup cold buttermilk. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until the dough just comes together; it will be slightly sticky. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Fold the dough over itself 2-3 times, then gently pat again to the same thickness to create layers.
  6. Use a 2 ½-inch biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits. Press straight down without twisting. Place biscuits close but not touching on the baking sheet.
  7. Gather scraps, pat to 1-inch thickness, and cut out more biscuits until all dough is used.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until tops are golden brown and biscuits sound hollow when tapped.
  9. While baking, prepare honey butter by mixing ½ cup softened unsalted butter with 2 tablespoons honey and a pinch of salt until creamy.
  10. Remove biscuits from oven and brush tops with melted butter for extra shine and flavor. Serve warm with honey butter spread.

Notes

Keep ingredients cold to ensure flaky layers. Do not twist the biscuit cutter when cutting to allow proper rising. Mix dough just until combined to avoid toughness. Bake immediately after cutting for best results. Honey butter can be made ahead and stored in the fridge.
