These Honey Anise Butter Biscuits are a delightful twist on classic biscuits, featuring the warm flavor of anise and the natural sweetness of honey.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Preheating ensures even baking and a golden crust.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the leavening agent.
Cut the cold butter into the flour mixture using a pastry blender until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Cold butter helps create a flaky texture in the biscuits.
Stir in the anise seeds.
Anise seeds add a unique flavor to the biscuits.
Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the milk and honey.
Mix gently to avoid overworking the dough.
Stir until a soft dough forms.
The dough should come together without being sticky.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently a few times.
Over-kneading can make the biscuits tough.
Roll the dough into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
Use a light touch to maintain the dough's flakiness.
Cut the dough into squares approximately 1.5 x 2 inches.
A sharp knife ensures clean edges for even baking.
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
Keep an eye on the biscuits to prevent over-baking.
Serve warm and enjoy!
Pair with honey or butter for an extra treat.
