Ingredients

For the Honey Butter Biscuits

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (8 ½ ounces; 240 grams)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup butter, melted and cooled (4 ounces; 112 grams)
  • ¾ cup milk, see note (6 ounces; 170 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons honey (1½ ounces; 42 grams)

For the Glaze

  • 2 tablespoons butter (1 ounce; 28 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons honey (1½ ounces; 42 grams)

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Add the melted butter, milk, and honey. Stir until a batter forms.
  3. Drop dough, about ¼ cup each, onto prepared baking sheet.

  4. Bake until biscuits are golden brown, about 15 minutes.
  5. While the biscuits bake, prepare the glaze. Combine butter and honey in a small saucepan. Heat until the butter melts. Stir to combine. Keep the glaze warm but don’t boil it.
  6. Brush the honey-butter glaze over the baked biscuits. You might have some glaze left over. Store it in a small container and use it on toast.

Recipe Notes

Milk

If you love the tangy flavor of buttermilk biscuits, replace the milk with an equal amount of buttermilk.
