Fluffy, flaky buttermilk biscuits with a touch of sweet honey butter and a sprinkle of sea salt, perfect for breakfast or as a side.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 6 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
- 1 cup cold buttermilk
- 3 tbsp honey
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Make a well in the center and pour in cold buttermilk. Stir just until combined; do not overmix.
- Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead 3-4 times until dough comes together.
- Roll dough out to about 1-inch thickness. Use a biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits and place them on the baking sheet.

- While warm, brush melted butter mixed with honey over the tops and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
