Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon (12 g) baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon (12 g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 3/4 cup (180 ml) cold buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (for extra tang)
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional, for slight sweetness)
For Brushing on Top of Biscuits:
- 2 tablespoons (30 g) melted butter
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.
