For the flakiest biscuits, it's crucial to keep all ingredients cold. Consider chilling the flour and bowl before starting. Don't overmix the dough! Overmixing develops the gluten, resulting in tough biscuits. Mix just until the dough comes together. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to a measuring cup, then filling the rest of the cup with milk to equal 3/4 cup. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using. For a richer flavor, brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter before baking.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
03
StepAdd the cold butter pieces to the flour mixture. Using a pastry blender or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining. (Prep time: 5-7 minutes)
04
StepIn a separate small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the cold buttermilk and honey until well combined. (Prep time: 1 minute)
05
StepPour the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture. Gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be shaggy. (Prep time: 2-3 minutes)
06
StepTurn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Gently pat the dough into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick. (Prep time: 1 minute)
07
StepFold the dough into thirds, like a letter. Turn the dough 90 degrees, and pat it again into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle. Repeat this folding and turning process two more times, for a total of three folds. This creates flaky layers. (Prep time: 3-5 minutes)
08
StepAfter the final fold, gently pat the dough into a 1-inch thick rectangle. (Prep time: 1 minute)
09
StepUse a 2-inch round cookie cutter to cut out biscuits. Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, about 1 inch apart. (Prep time: 3-5 minutes)
10
StepGently press the remaining dough scraps together and cut out additional biscuits. (Prep time: 2-3 minutes)
11
StepBake in the preheated oven for 13 to 15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown. (Bake time: 13-15 minutes)
12
StepLet the biscuits cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm with honey, jam, or your favorite toppings. (Cooling time: 5 minutes)
