Buttermilk Biscuits with Butter and Honey

Rated 0 out of 5

Warm, flaky biscuits are always a crowd-pleaser for holiday brunches. Ours are simple to prepare and deliver loads of flavor, especially when smeared with salted butter, drizzled with honey and sprinkled with flaky sea salt. The buttermilk in the dough lends a zesty tang and helps the biscuits rise so they’ll be tall and fluffy. To ensure yours turn out super tender, don’t overmix the dough and handle it as little as possible.

Prep Time 25 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Servings 5 to 10

Ingredients

  • 2 cups (8 1/2 oz./240 g) all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • 2 tsp. sugar
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
  • 6 Tbs. (3/4 stick) (3 oz./90 g) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/4-inch (6-mm) pieces, plus more for buttering the dish
  • 3/4 cup (6 fl. oz./180 ml) buttermilk

For serving:

  • Salted butter, at room temperature
  • Honey
  • Flaky sea salt

Directions

Preheat an oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 1-quart (1-l) oval baking dish with butter.

In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Scatter the unsalted butter pieces over the flour mixture and toss to coat. Using a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in the butter just until the mixture forms coarse crumbs the size of peas. Add the buttermilk and stir just until the dough comes together. Knead the dough a few times in the bowl.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Using a light touch, pat out the dough into a round 3/4 inch (2 cm) thick. Using a 2-inch (5-cm) round biscuit cutter or cookie cutter, cut out as many rounds as possible. Place the biscuits in the prepared baking dish, nestling them close together. Gather up the dough scraps, pat out again, cut out more biscuits and place in the dish.

Bake the biscuits until they have risen and are golden brown, about 15 minutes. Transfer the baking dish to a wire rack and let cool for 5 minutes. Remove the biscuits from the dish and serve with salted butter, honey and flaky sea salt. Makes 10 biscuits.
