Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or a fork, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Make a well in the center of your mixture and pour in the buttermilk (and honey, if using). Stir gently until just combined.
- Lightly flour your work surface and turn the dough out onto it. Pat the dough into a rectangle about 1-inch thick.
- Fold the dough over itself 3-4 times, gently pressing it down each time to create layers. Roll it out again to about 1-inch thickness.
- Using a cookie cutter or a glass, cut out biscuits and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
- Allow the biscuits to cool for a few minutes on a wire rack before serving.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding shredded cheese or herbs to the dough.
- Freeze unbaked biscuits for easy baking anytime; just add a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
- Store baked biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
