Buttermilk Biscuits

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°

Step 2

Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Grate the frozen butter into the flour mixture and then use a pastry blender or fork to incorporate it until mixture resembles coarse meal. Chill in refrigerator for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Stir honey into buttermilk until well blended.

Step 4

Add buttermilk mixture to flour mixture and stir just until moist. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and form gently into a ball.  Roll or pat the dough into a rectangle 1/2 inch thick.

Step 5

Fold the dough into thirds (as if folding a piece of paper to fit into an envelope).  Gently re-roll dough into a rectangle, 1/2 inch thick. Fold dough into thirds one more time. Gently roll to a 3/4-inch thickness.

Step 6

Cut dough with a biscuit or cookie cutter to form 10-12 biscuits. Place them 1 inch apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 7

Bake at 400° for 10-12 minutes or until golden and cooked through. Remove from pan and cool on wire racks.
