Ingredients and Equipment

1 tablespoon of baking powder
1 teaspoon of salt
1/2 cup of cold butter, diced
3/4 cup of cold buttermilk
1 tablespoon of honey
Baking sheet lined with parchment paper
Mixing bowl
Pastry cutter or two knives
Rolling pin
Biscuit cutter
Tips for Perfect Biscuits
Before we dive into the recipe, here are some tips to ensure your biscuits come out perfect every time:
Use cold ingredients: Cold butter and buttermilk are key to achieving flaky and tender biscuits. Keep them in the fridge until ready to use.
Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will result in tough biscuits. Mix the ingredients until just combined.
Use a pastry cutter or two knives: Using a pastry cutter or two knives to cut the butter into the flour will create small pockets of fat, resulting in a flaky texture.
Don't twist the biscuit cutter: When cutting out the biscuits, press the biscuit cutter straight down and lift it straight up. Twisting the cutter can seal the edges and prevent the biscuits from rising properly.
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Add the diced butter to the dry ingredients and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the cold buttermilk and honey until well combined.
Pour the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients and use a wooden spoon or your hands to gently mix until just combined.
Lightly dust a clean surface with flour and turn the dough out onto it. Knead the dough gently a few times until it comes together.
Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out to about 1 inch thickness.
Use a biscuit cutter to cut out the biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
Serve warm and enjoy!
Now that you have the basic southern biscuit recipe, feel free to experiment with different variations. You can add ingredients like cheese, herbs, or spices to make them your own.
