Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold)
• 1 cup Buttermilk (cold)
• 1 tablespoon Honey or sugar (optional, for a touch of sweetness)
• 2 tablespoons Melted butter (optional, for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. If you're adding a touch of sweetness, include the honey or sugar at this step.

Step 3

Cut the cold butter into small cubes. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Be careful not to overmix — you want visible bits of butter for flakiness.

Step 4

Create a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the cold buttermilk. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until the dough just comes together. The dough will be slightly shaggy but should hold its shape.

Step 5

Lightly flour a clean surface and turn out the dough. Gently gather it into a ball and pat it out to about 1-inch thickness.

Step 6

Fold the dough in half over itself and gently pat it down again. Repeat this folding process 3-4 times to create layers that will help the biscuits rise tall and flaky.

Step 7

Using a 2- to 3-inch round biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits, pressing straight down without twisting. Gather the scraps, pat them together, and cut out additional biscuits.

Step 8

Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, making sure the sides are just barely touching. This helps them rise higher during baking.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.

Step 10

Optional: Brush the tops of the baked biscuits with melted butter for extra flavor and a beautiful shine.

Step 11

Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as butter, jam, or honey, and enjoy!
