Honey Butter Biscuits - melissassouthernstylekitchen.com (2024)

These made-from-scratch Honey Butter Biscuits are basted in a glaze that’s buttery and sweet. They’re cut into squares to give them a different look than an expected classic round buttermilk biscuit. The sweet honey butter glaze, square shape and scone-like texture combine to make them very special indeed.

How to Make the Best Honey Butter Biscuits Recipe

• Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Honey Butter Biscuits: Self rising flour, frozen butter, honey, whole milk or buttermilk, and melted butter to make the honey butter to brush the tops.
• Kitchen tools you’ll need: A large bowl, measuring cups and spoons, a fork, a non stick surface for rolling the dough a sharp knife to cut into squares or if you prefer rounds, a 2 1/2 inch biscuit cutter. You’ll also need a a parchment lined prepared baking sheet for baking the biscuits and a small bowl to make the honey butter and pastry brush. You’ll also need parchment paper to prepare the bakingsheet.
• The butter used in these honey butter biscuits is icy cold and frozen. It’s then grated on a box grater just as you would shred cheese. Doing it this way, allows the butter to gently melt into the dry ingredients while baking and creating steam which gives them an almost scone-like texture. This technique eliminates the need to cut the butter into the dry ingredients. A quick toss to with a rubber spatula to coat the butter with the flour mixture is all that’s needed.
• Self rising flour already has leavening agents already added to the flour. If you’d like to make your own self rising flour for this recipe to to the same amount of all purpose flour add 1 tablespoon of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Sift together with a whisk and proceed with the recipe.
• It’s helpful to use a fork to work the wet ingredients into the flour to bring the biscuit dough together.
• To keep the dough tender, once you turn it out onto a lightly floured surface, you can roll the dough using a rolling pin or pat the dough using your hands. Regardless, don’t overwork the biscuit batter.
• You can use a biscuit cutter to shape the dough but it’s not necessary. Use a sharp knife to cut the dough into equal size portions. Don’t be tempted to overwork the dough or you won’t have tender biscuits.
• To make larger biscuits cut the dough into 9 portions, and for smaller biscuits divide the dough into 12 portions.
• Brush with honey butter for a touch of sweetness and bake until golden brown.
• Store leftover Honey Butter Biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up 2 days.
• Reheat in single servings in the microwave.
