Ingredients
  

For the Biscuits:
  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 stick cold salted butter, shredded
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 teaspoons raw honey
  • 3 tablespoons hot water
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 egg yolk beaten, with 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 teaspoon coarse salt or pretzel salt
For the Honey Butter:
  • 6 tablespoons salted butter, at room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons raw honey

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Grater
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Pastry brush
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

Cooking Steps:
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Grate the cold butter into the flour mixture and blend until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. In a separate bowl, mix the whole milk, raw honey, and hot water until the honey is dissolved.
  6. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
  7. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a rectangle about 1-inch thick. Cut into squares or rounds.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and water. Brush the tops of the biscuits with this mixture.
  9. Sprinkle the tops with coarse salt or pretzel salt.
  10. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
  11. While the biscuits bake, mix the room temperature salted butter with raw honey until smooth for the honey butter.
  12. Once baked, let the biscuits cool slightly before serving with the honey butter spread.

Notes

  • Ensure your butter is cold for optimal flakiness.
  • Do not overwork the dough; it should be slightly tacky but workable.
  • Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
