Honey Biscuits Recipe
This Honey Biscuits Recipe elevates the classic treat with a sweet twist, infusing the light, flaky layers with the natural goodness of honey.
Equipment
- Mixing bowls
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Pastry blender (optional)
- Rolling Pin
- Biscuit cutter or a round cookie cutter
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup cold butter cubed
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup honey
- Additional honey for brushing
Instructions
- Set your oven to preheat at 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
- In a sizable bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt by whisking them together.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry blender or your fingertips to incorporate the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a small bowl, mix the milk with honey until well combined. Pour this into the dry ingredients, stirring just until the dough comes together.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently. Roll the dough to about 1-inch thickness.
- Use a biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits, then place them on the lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Brush the tops with a bit of honey right out of the oven for extra shine and sweetness.
Notes
- Cinnamon-Honey: Add 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the flour mixture for a spicy twist.
- Lemon-Zest Honey Biscuits: Include the zest of one lemon in the dough for a citrusy note.
- Nutty Honey Biscuits: Add a handful of finely chopped walnuts or pecans for a crunchy texture.
- Herbed Honey Biscuits: Mix in 1 tablespoon of finely chopped fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme for a savory version.
- Glazed Honey Biscuits: After baking, top with a simple glaze made from confectioner’s sugar, milk, and honey.
