Description
Homemade Buttermilk Honey Biscuits are a delightful treat, featuring a perfect blend of tangy buttermilk and the natural sweetness of honey.
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour (scooped and leveled)
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons honey
- ½ cup (1 stick) frozen butter
- 1 1/3 cup buttermilk
Topping
- 1 tablespoon honey + 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk or stir together.
Grate frozen butter into the dry mixture.
Create a well in the dry mixture and add buttermilk and honey.
Gently mix with hands or a rubber spatula, turning the bowl as you go until the dough comes together.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Use a bench scraper to fold, press, and rotate until no longer sticky (about 3 rotations).
Use a 3-inch cookie cutter to cut out circles. Avoid twisting the cutter to allow biscuits to rise.
Place biscuits on a baking sheet.
Bake for 13-15 minutes or until golden brown on top.
Melt 1 tablespoon honey and 1 tablespoon butter together, then brush on top of freshly baked biscuits.
Enjoy your homemade Buttermilk Honey Biscuits!

Buttermilk Substitutes: When buttermilk is absent, fear not! Create a quick substitute with these alternatives: Sour Cream, Plain Yogurt, White Vinegar, or Lemon Juice. For a cup of buttermilk, try these easy swaps:
- Sour Cream Method: Mix 4 tablespoons of milk with enough sour cream to make a cup.
- Plain Yogurt Method: Combine 2 tablespoons of milk with enough plain yogurt to make a cup.
- White Vinegar Method: Stir 1 tablespoon of white vinegar into milk and let it sit for 5-10 minutes.
- Lemon Juice Method: Mix 1 tablespoon of lemon juice with milk and let it sit for 10 minutes; it’ll look curdled, but stir to combine.
These substitutes work seamlessly in various recipes, providing the tangy richness of buttermilk, ensuring your culinary creations maintain their delicious flavor and texture.
