Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 1 cup Zucchini, grated and excess water squeezed out
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon zest
• 0.75 cup Buttermilk, cold
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 2 tablespoons Optional: Melted butter for brushing

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Stir in the grated zucchini and lemon zest, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the cold buttermilk and honey until the honey is dissolved.

Step 6

Pour the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients gradually, mixing gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until a shaggy dough forms. Avoid overmixing.

Step 7

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it 3–4 times to bring it together. Pat it into a 1-inch-thick rectangle.

Step 8

Using a 2.5-inch biscuit cutter (or the rim of a glass), cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather the scraps, gently re-pat, and cut out more biscuits as needed.

Step 9

Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

Step 10

Optional: Brush the warm biscuits with melted butter for added flavor and a glossy finish.

Step 11

Serve the biscuits warm with butter, honey, or your favorite spread. Enjoy!
