Ingredients

  • 2 cups King Arthur Self-Rising Flour plus more for kneading
  • 5 tablespoon cold unsalted butter cut into cubes
  • ¾ cup buttermilk
  • 5-6 tablespoon honey
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 stick unsalted butter + 1-2 teaspoon cinnamon for spread

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400F.
  • In a large bowl, combined the flour, salt, and butter. Using a pastry cutter, "cut" the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse sand.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and honey. Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and mix until just combined.
  • Dump the dough onto a lightly floured surface, and using a rolling pin, roll into a rough rectangle. Fold the dough into thirds, then roll out again. Repeat a couple of times to make flaky layers, and end with the dough at about ¾ inch thickness.
  • Using a biscuit cutter, cut out as many as you can, and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Re-knead and roll leftover dough to make more biscuits.
  • Bake biscuits 10-12 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. If desired, brush the tops with melted butter as soon as they come out of the oven.
  • When ready to serve, beat one stick of softened unsalted butter with cinnamon using a hand mixer, until smooth and creamy. Serve with fresh biscuits!
