Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter cold and cubed
- ¾ cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice for extra tang
- 1 teaspoon honey optional, for slight sweetness
For Brushing on Top of Biscuits
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
- Add cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until pea-sized crumbs form. Pour in cold buttermilk, lemon juice, and honey (if using).
- Gently stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined—don’t overmix! The dough should be slightly sticky.
- Use a large spoon or ice cream scoop to drop mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches (5 cm) apart. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown on top.
- Remove from oven and immediately brush warm biscuits with melted butter for extra flavor. Serve warm with butter, honey, or jam.
