These soft, traditional buttermilk biscuits get a subtle upgrade with finely grated, ice-cold butter worked into the dough and a sweet honey-butter glaze brushed on while they’re piping hot from the oven.
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Self-rising flour | 2 cups |
| Cold buttermilk | 1 cup |
| Salt (optional) | 1/2 tsp |
| Frozen butter, grated | 3/4 stick |
| Melted butter | 2 tbsp |
| Honey | 1 tbsp |
Step 1: Mix Dry Ingredients with Butter
Place the self-rising flour (add the salt if you’re using it) into a large bowl. Add the grated frozen butter and toss gently until the mixture looks like coarse, crumbly meal.
Step 2: Add the Buttermilk
Pour in the chilled buttermilk and stir softly with a spoon or spatula until the dough loosely comes together. It should look shaggy, not smooth.
Step 3: Fold and Form the Dough
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured counter. Press it together, then fold it over itself about five times to build flaky layers. Cut out biscuits using a 2½-inch cutter, making sure not to twist as you press down.
Step 4: Bake the Biscuits
Place the cut biscuits in a greased baking dish, edges just barely touching. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 18–20 minutes, or until the tops turn a rich golden color.
Step 5: Brush with Honey Butter
Stir together the melted butter and honey. As soon as the biscuits come out of the oven, brush the warm glaze over the tops generously.
