Best 6 Buttermilk Biscuits With Honey Butter Recipes

BUTTERMILK BISCUITS WITH BUTTER AND HONEY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment or waxed paper.
• In a bowl combine the dry ingredients and blend thoroughly. Cream in the butter with your fingers or a fork, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the buttermilk a little at a time and, using your hands or a fork, work it in just until it's thoroughly incorporated and you have a smooth ball of dough. Don't overwork or over-handle the dough.
• On a lightly floured surface, press the dough out into a round that is about 1-inch thick. Using a round cookie cutter or the rim of a drinking glass, press out (2 1/2-inch) rounds; you should get about 7 biscuits. If you like, you can re-roll the leftover dough to make more, but the texture of these will be denser than the others.
• Place the dough rounds on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with heavy cream. Grind fresh pepper over top of biscuits, if desired. Bake until golden on top and brown on the bottom, about 12 to 15 minutes. Serve warm with butter and a drizzle of honey.

BUTTERMILK BISCUITS WITH HONEY BUTTER

Steps:

• For the biscuits:
• Position rack in middle of oven and preheat to 425°F. Whisk sugar, baking powder, kosher salt, baking soda, and 3 cups flour in a large bowl. Cut in butter using a pastry cutter or 2 butter knives until pea-sized lumps form. Stir in buttermilk until a shaggy dough forms.
• Gather dough into a ball. On a lightly floured surface, press into an 8" square. Fold sides over like a letter. Turn 90º and fold sides again, forming a small square. Press or roll to an 8" square and repeat once, adding flour as needed to prevent sticking.
• Pat dough into a scant 3/4" round. Cut out rounds with 2 1/2" cutter; transfer to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Gather scraps and repeat patting and cutting (you should have 14). Freeze until chilled, about 15 minutes.
• Bake biscuits, rotating sheet halfway through, until golden brown, 22-24 minutes.
• For the Honey Butter:
• Stir butter, honey, and 2 tsp. sea salt in a medium bowl until well combined.
• Top biscuits with Honey Butter and sprinkle with sea salt; serve warm or at room temperature.

HONEY BUTTERMILK BISCUITS

Steps:

• Whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda in a large bowl. Cut in the butter with a spoon until flour mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add honey and buttermilk and stir together all ingredients.
• Turn out on a floured surface and knead five or six times. Pat dough out with your hand or roll out to about 1/2 inch thick. Cut out biscuits with a biscuit cutter and place on a sprayed baking sheet about an inch apart. I used a square cutter but a round one or even a cup or glass is fine.
• Bake in a preheated 425 degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes until tops are browned. Remove from oven and brush on topping.

SMALL-BATCH BUTTERMILK BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Toss butter into flour mixture to evenly coat, then work between your fingers to incorporate butter into mixture.
• Drizzle buttermilk over flour-butter mixture (to evenly distribute) while stirring with a fork. Stop stirring when dough begins to form but mixture is still crumbly. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Gather dough with your hands, pressing firmly to bind, and flatten into a 5-by-7-inch rectangle, about 3/4 inch thick. Fold dough in half, turn 90 degrees, and fold again.
• Press dough into a 5-inch square, about 1 inch thick. Use a serrated knife to cut into 4 equal biscuits and separate, so there are a few inches between formed biscuits. Brush tops with buttermilk.
• Bake until biscuits are puffed and golden and hollow-sounding when tapped on bottoms, 16 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a basket lined with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm. Serve with honey and salted butter.

• Make a well in the center of butter and flour mixture. Pour in 3/4 cup buttermilk; stir until just combined.
• Turn dough onto a floured work surface, pat together into a rectangle.
• Fold the rectangle in thirds. Turn dough a half turn, gather any crumbs, and flatten back into a rectangle. Repeat twice more, folding and pressing dough a total of three times.
• Roll dough on a floured surface to about 1/2 inch thick.
• Cut out 12 biscuits using a 2 1/2-inch round biscuit cutter.
• Transfer biscuits to the prepared baking sheet. Press an indent into the top of each biscuit with your thumb.

BUTTERMILK-CORNMEAL DROP BISCUITS WITH HONEY BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. With a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut in 1/2 cup cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with a few pea-size pieces remaining. In a small bowl, whisk together buttermilk and 3 tablespoons honey. Add to flour mixture and stir with a fork until dough just comes together. (Dough will be slightly sticky; do not overmix.) With two large spoons, drop 10 mounds of dough, 2 inches apart, on two parchment-lined baking sheets.
• Bake until biscuits are golden, 15 to 20 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Transfer biscuits on parchment to wire racks and let cool. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup butter and 2 tablespoons honey until combined. Serve honey butter with biscuits.
