  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a silpat mat.
  2. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. Place into the refrigerator for 10 minutes to chill. In a smaller bowl, combine the buttermilk, honey, and chives then whisk until well blended. Add the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture and stir until mixed.
  3. Place the dough on a well-floured surface and knead 4-5 times. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a 9 x 5-inch rectangle.
  4. Dust the top with flour then fold the dough crosswise into thirds (like folding a letter to fit into an envelope). Re-roll the dough into a 9 x 5-inch rectangle, dust the top with flour, and fold the dough crosswise into thirds again.
  5. Gently roll or pat the dough into a 3/4 inch thickness and cut with a biscuit cutter to form biscuits. Place dough rounds 1 inch apart on the baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for two minutes on a wire rack then serve slathered with butter. Enjoy.
