These golden buttermilk biscuits are a delightful addition to any meal, offering a flaky texture and rich flavor.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Preheating ensures even baking and a golden crust.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Sift the dry ingredients for a lighter texture.
Cut the butter into the flour mixture using a pastry blender until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Keep the butter cold for flakier biscuits.
Whisk together the buttermilk and honey in a separate bowl.
Ensure the honey is fully dissolved for even sweetness.
Add the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture and stir until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to prevent tough biscuits.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead lightly 4 times.
Light kneading helps develop layers without overworking the dough.
Roll the dough into a 1/2-inch-thick rectangle, then fold it into thirds.
Folding creates layers for a flaky texture.
Reroll the dough to 3/4-inch thickness and cut out biscuits using a biscuit cutter.
Dip the cutter in flour to prevent sticking.
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes or until golden brown.
Rotate the baking sheet halfway through for even baking.
Cool the biscuits on a wire rack for 2 minutes and serve warm.
Serve with your favorite toppings for added flavor.
