Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 stick butter, cubed and very cold
  • 1 cup milk or buttermilk
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1 tbsp honey, optional

Equipment

  • 1 food processor

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a food processor (with a dough blade if you have it), pulse the dry ingredients together to combine. Cut in the butter until it forms coarse crumbs. Try not to over process- just get it crumbly. Slowly pulse in 1 cup milk. Do not overwork the dough, pulse until just combined.
  3. Dump the dough onto the counter and knead together. You may need to sprinkle some flour to keep it from sticking. It's a sticky dough, but just keep flouring and working with it. Roll the dough into a rectangle or circle approximately 3/4 inch thick.
  4. Using a biscuit cutter, cookie cutter, or just a drinking glass, cut into 12 biscuits, re-rolling and reshaping the dough as needed. Arrange on the baking sheet (or in an iron skillet) with edges touching.
  5. Brush the tops of the biscuits with the 2 tbsp of milk. Bake 12-18 minutes, until just golden brown. Remove from the oven. You can brush the tops with a tbsp or so of honey at this point, or leave as is.
    6. These freeze well, so make a double batch and freeze half for another time!
