Fluffy Honey Butter Biscuits: A Sweet and Buttery Delight

These Fluffy Honey Butter Biscuits are the perfect combination of buttery richness and a hint of sweetness. Made with self-rising flour for ease, frozen grated butter for a flaky texture, and a drizzle of honey for that touch of sweetness, these biscuits are ideal for breakfast, brunch, or a snack. Whether enjoyed fresh out of the oven with extra butter or paired with your favorite jam, these biscuits are sure to become a staple in your recipe collection.

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups self-rising flour
  • 1/2 cup salted butter, frozen and grated
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup honey

For the Honey Butter Topping:

  • 4 tablespoons salted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon honey

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients : In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour. Using a fork or pastry cutter, cut in the frozen grated butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This step is key to creating flaky, buttery biscuits.
  3. Add the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the whole milk and 1/4 cup honey until well combined. Gradually pour the milk and honey mixture into the flour and butter mixture, stirring just until the dough comes together.
  4. Form the Biscuits:   Transfer the dough to a lightly floured countertop and knead it gently for a few moments until it holds together nicely. Pat the dough out to about 1/2-inch thickness, then use a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out the biscuits. Transfer the biscuits to the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.
  5. Bake the Biscuits: Place the biscuits in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until they achieve a golden-brown color on top and are fully cooked inside.
  6. Prepare the Honey Butter Topping: While the biscuits are baking, melt the 4 tablespoons of butter and stir in 1 tablespoon of honey. As soon as the biscuits come out of the oven, brush the tops generously with the honey butter mixture for an extra layer of flavor and shine.
  7. Serve: Serve the biscuits warm, with extra honey butter on the side if desired. These biscuits are perfect on their own or as an accompaniment to savory dishes.

Conclusion:

These Fluffy Honey Butter Biscuits are a delicious combination of buttery, flaky layers with a subtle sweetness from the honey. The addition of the honey butter glaze adds a decadent finishing touch, making them perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a delightful snack. Whether paired with savory sides or enjoyed on their own, these biscuits are sure to become a family favorite.
