Ingredients
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup butter cold
- 4 ounces cream cheese cold
- 1 cup buttermilk
Honey Butter
- 1 cup butter 2 sticks
- 1/4 cup honey
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450F. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Using a pastry blender, a fork, or two knives, cut the cold butter and cream cheese into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse sand or crumbs.
- Stir in the buttermilk just until combined.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead just until it comes together into a ball. Flatten the dough out into a circle, about 3/4-inch in thickness. Use a 2-inch biscuit cutter to cut out round biscuits, then re-roll the extra pieces of dough to cut out the remaining biscuits.
- Place the biscuits on the prepared cookie sheet and bake at 450F for 10-12 minutes until lightly browned.
- While the biscuits are baking, add the butter and honey to a small saucepan and heat over medium heat until the butter is melted. Continue to cook over medium heat, whisking constantly until smooth. Remove from the heat.
- Remove the biscuits from the oven and generously brush with some of the honey butter. Return the biscuits to the oven to bake at 450F for 3-5 minutes until golden brown.
- Spoon the melted honey butter over the biscuits to serve, or refrigerate until set and then whip with an electric mixer until light and creamy.
