This deceptively simple recipe can come out a million different ways with some very minor variations on the ingredients and amounts. This one's my favorite - flaky, but not dry; chewy, but not tough; crisp in just the right spots.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda in large bowl to blend. Using fingertips, rub 3/4 cup chilled butter into dry ingredients until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add buttermilk and stir until evenly moistened. Using 1/4 cup dough for each biscuit, drop biscuits onto baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart. Bake until biscuits are golden brown on top, about 15 minutes. Cool slightly. Serve warm.
Tips:
- Chill your ingredients. This will help the biscuits to rise higher and be more flaky.
- Use cold butter. This will also help the biscuits to rise higher and be more flaky. You can freeze the butter for 30 minutes before grating it.
- Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make the biscuits tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
- Roll out the dough to the proper thickness. The dough should be rolled out to a thickness of about 1/2 inch.
- Cut the biscuits out with a sharp biscuit cutter. This will help to prevent the biscuits from sticking together.
- Bake the biscuits in a hot oven. This will help the biscuits to rise quickly and be golden brown.
- Serve the biscuits warm with butter and honey.
