Description
This Golden Skies with Honey Brush biscuit recipe delivers fluffy interiors and golden, subtly sweet crusts. It’s a family-friendly, hearty recipe perfect for quick weeknight sides or weekend brunch, designed for foolproof success.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, cold and grated
- 0.75 cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Prepare Oven and Dry Ingredients: Preheat oven to 425F (220C). Line a baking sheet. Whisk all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together. Grate very cold butter into the dry mixture until small pieces.
- Mix Dough: Quickly cut the butter into the flour mixture until pea-sized. Add buttermilk and mix gently until just combined and shaggy (add 1-2 Tbsp more buttermilk if too dry). Do not overmix.
- Form Biscuits: Turn dough onto a floured surface. Pat to 0.75-inch thick. Cut with a 2-inch cutter (press straight down, do not twist). Place biscuits close together on the baking sheet.
- Bake Biscuits: Bake for 12-15 minutes, until tops are golden brown, smell buttery, and have significant rise.
- Apply Glaze and Serve: Melt honey with butter. Brush generously over warm biscuits. Serve immediately.
Notes
If no buttermilk, combine 1 Tbsp lemon juice or vinegar with regular milk to reach 0.75 cup (180ml) and let sit 5 minutes. For quicker butter incorporation, use a food processor by pulsing cold, cubed butter with dry ingredients. If no biscuit cutter, cut the 0.75-inch thick dough into 2-inch squares with a knife to avoid re-rolling. Dough can be prepared and cut up to 24 hours ahead; chill covered on a baking sheet and bake straight from the fridge, adding a few minutes to bake time. Overmixing dough develops gluten and leads to tough biscuits; mix only until just combined. Use very cold, grated butter for light and airy texture. Avoid twisting the biscuit cutter as it seals edges and prevents proper rise; press straight down and lift.
