Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°
  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.
  3. Stir honey into buttermilk until well blended. 
  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.
  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.
  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. 
  7. Bake at 400° for 10-12 minutes or until golden and cooked through. Remove from pan and cool on wire racks.
  8. Store biscuits at room temperature for 1-2 days, or for best results, wrap in plastic wrap and freeze leftover biscuits in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

Notes

  • Buttermilk: If you don't have some on hand, make your own Buttermilk Substitute by mixing milk and lemon juice or vinegar.
  • Make Ahead Instructions: Prepare biscuits dough as directed, but before cutting the dough to bake, cover the dough tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 days, before cutting and baking.
  • Freezing Instructions: Prepare dough up until baking. Place uncooked biscuits on a parchment lined baking sheet, cover lightly with plastic wrap and freeze for 30 minutes. Transfer to a freezer safe bag or container and freeze for up to 3 months. Place frozen biscuits on a baking sheet, covered, to thaw overnight in the fridge before baking. Baked biscuits also freeze well, stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.
