Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted, plus more for surface
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, plus more for serving
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup heavy cream
Freshly ground black pepper, optional
Honey, for serving

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment or waxed paper.

In a bowl combine the dry ingredients and blend thoroughly. Cream in the butter with your fingers or a fork, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the buttermilk a little at a time and, using your hands or a fork, work it in just until it's thoroughly incorporated and you have a smooth ball of dough. Don't overwork or over-handle the dough.

On a lightly floured surface, press the dough out into a round that is about 1-inch thick. Using a round cookie cutter or the rim of a drinking glass, press out (2 1/2-inch) rounds; you should get about 7 biscuits. If you like, you can re-roll the leftover dough to make more, but the texture of these will be denser than the others.

Place the dough rounds on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with heavy cream. Grind fresh pepper over top of biscuits, if desired. Bake until golden on top and brown on the bottom, about 12 to 15 minutes. Serve warm with butter and a drizzle of honey.

New favorite biscuit!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Easy recipe, quick to put together and easy to double if needed. Really cold butter works great, and the buscuits were light... and moist. Read more

Poorly Written Directions
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I just noticed a few other reviewers made the same mistake I did. This recipe calls for half a cup buttermilk & half a cup... heavy cream. In the assembly directions you are directed to add "the buttermilk." In a separate direction you brush the biscuit tops with heavy cream before placing in the oven. Although I thought they called for too much cream to brush on, I trusted that the dough should be dry until I took 7 heavy, tasteless rocks from the oven 40 minutes later (they didn't brown). The squirrels that live in the tree outside my door have yet to try them! I've now learned to read the reviews before cooking something for the first time. Still not sure if the cream was meant to be mixed into the dough or not, but I'm trying Alton Brown's recipe instead!Read more

Great Biscuts
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I was hoping I wouldn't like them considering how fatening they are. But they were great!

Dry, dry, dry
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I was just looking for a basic buttermilk biscuit recipe so I left out the pepper and honey. 1/2 cup of buttermilk is not... enough! The dough would not come together so I ended up over working it and they were dry and flat. I even added a little extra buttermilk. I think I'll go back to my usual drop biscuits. Sorry Bobby.Read more

Excellent recipe
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

With a little modification here and there this is an easy recipe to work from. I made dropped biscuits and had such a nice... unfinished texture. I used salted butter and cut the salt portion in half and left out the pepper. Recipe made 8 large dropped biscuits.Read more
