Honey Butter Biscuits

Honey Butter Biscuits

25 min

Ingredients

  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup butter (cold)
  • 4 ounces cream cheese (cold)
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup butter (2 sticks)
  • 1/4 cup honey

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 450F. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Using a pastry blender, a fork, or two knives, cut the cold butter and cream cheese into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse sand or crumbs.

  3. 3

    Stir in the buttermilk just until combined.

  4. 4

    Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead just until it comes together into a ball. Flatten the dough out into a circle, about 3/4-inch in thickness. Use a 2-inch biscuit cutter to cut out round biscuits, then re-roll the extra pieces of dough to cut out the remaining biscuits.

  5. 5

    Place the biscuits on the prepared cookie sheet and bake at 450F for 10-12 minutes until lightly browned.

  6. 6

    While the biscuits are baking, add the butter and honey to a small saucepan and heat over medium heat until the butter is melted. Continue to cook over medium heat, whisking constantly until smooth. Remove from the heat.

  7. 7

    Remove the biscuits from the oven and generously brush with some of the honey butter. Return the biscuits to the oven to bake at 450F for 3-5 minutes until golden brown.

  8. 8

    Spoon the melted honey butter over the biscuits to serve, or refrigerate until set and then whip with an electric mixer until light and creamy.
