Photo: Buttermilk Biscuits with Butter and Honey Recipe
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
- Heavy cream, for brushing tops
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Freshly ground black pepper, optional
- Honey, for serving
Directions
Preheat the oven to 450 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.

the 1st time i made it did not came out that good because i wasent paying really attention to the recipe... today i was and it came out GREAT like i totally love them i will be making them again and i will never buy biscuits form the store again .YOU SHOULD MAKE IT !!!!..
P.S.
you should put buttermilk in the bottom and on the
top of the biscuits b4 you put them in the oven instead of the heavy cream...and 7 min. b4 they are done
and put the butter with honey then you'll get the crispiness

Mmmm....I never heard of serving biscuits with drizzled honey and mashed up butter until Bobby Flay. It is SO tasty. It really amps up the taste of the biscuits. From now on, I am going to serve biscuits, canned or homemade, with a bowl of delicious honey butter!!
