Ingredients
- Makes 4
- 1 cup flour, plus 1/2 cup flour, divided
- 1.5 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp honey
- 4 Tbsp butter
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
In a medium bowl, mix 1 cup of flour with the baking powder, salt, and honey.
Dice the butter and cut it into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter / two forks / or your hands, working it until the large pieces of butter are incorporated and the mixture feels like cornmeal.
Make a well in the center of the flour and butter mix and pour in the buttermilk. Gently mix together with a fork, just until the dough comes together. If you still have some dry flour, add a little more buttermilk. Your dough should be fairly sticky.
Dump the other 1/2 cup of flour in a shallow bowl.
Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Scoop one piece of the dough and drop it in the flour, rolling it gently to cover each side with a bit of flour. Shake off the extra flour and set the biscuit on a baking sheet. Repeat with the last 3 biscuits.
Bake at 425 for 11-13 minutes or until the biscuits are golden.
