These buttery biscuits get a light hint of sweetness from added honey. Serve them warm, with additional honey, jam, or whatever you like on your biscuits.

Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup cold butter, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
- 3/4 cup cold buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons honey
Steps
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Stir together flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Cut in butter using a pastry blender or two forks until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir honey and buttermilk together in a cup. Pour into flour mixture and stir until mixture comes together.
- Turn mixture out onto a lightly-floured work surface. Press dough into a rectangle shape about 1/2 inch thick. Fold mixture into thirds, like a letter, then turn 90 degrees and press again into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle. Fold dough into thirds again, turn 90 degrees, and press into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle. Fold dough into thirds one more time, and now press into a thicker rectangle, about 1-inch thick.
- Cut biscuits with a 2-inch round cookie cutter. Place biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart. Gently press remaining dough back together and cut biscuits; place onto the baking sheet. Press together any remaining dough scraps to form final biscuits.
- Bake in the preheated oven until biscuits begin to turn golden, 13 to 15 minutes. Cool on a rack for a few minutes before serving.
