Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour

How to Make Fluffy Biscuits with Honey Butter
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well mixed.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour in the milk and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together. Pat it into a rectangle about 1-inch thick.
- Using a biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet, close together for soft sides or spaced apart for crusty edges.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
- While the biscuits are baking, make the honey butter by mixing the softened butter and honey in a small bowl until smooth and creamy.
- Once the biscuits are done, remove them from the oven and brush the tops with the honey butter while they are still warm.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
