Honey Buttermilk Biscuits
These biscuits are addictive. This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled.
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 6 tablespoons cold butter grated or cut in very small pieces
- 2 teaspoons white granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 cup buttermilk
Topping for honey biscuits
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
Instructions
- Whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda in a large bowl. Cut in the butter with a spoon until flour mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add honey and buttermilk and stir together all ingredients.
- Turn out on a floured surface and knead five or six times. Pat dough out with your hand or roll out to about 1/2 inch thick. Cut out biscuits with a biscuit cutter and place on a sprayed baking sheet about an inch apart. I used a square cutter but a round one or even a cup or glass is fine.
- Bake in a preheated 425 degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes until tops are browned. Remove from oven and brush on topping.
Topping Instructions:
- Melt butter in microwave and add honey and ginger. Mix together and brush over biscuits. Return biscuits to oven for 2 minutes.
Notes
I used salted butter but you can use unsalted if you want. You could also double the topping and serve extra with the biscuits.
