Fluffy Angel Biscuits Perfectly Soft and Delicious
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 0.75 cup buttermilk, chilled
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon melted butter (for brushing)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- Add the cold cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, combine the chilled buttermilk and honey, stirring until the honey is fully dissolved.
- Pour the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture and stir gently with a fork until the dough comes together - be careful not to overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it 3-4 times to bring it together. Pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick.
- Use a biscuit cutter to cut out the biscuits, gently pressing down without twisting. Place them close together on the prepared baking sheet to help them rise.
- Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter for a golden finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are puffed and lightly golden on top.
- Remove from the oven and serve warm, with additional melted butter or your favorite jam.
💡 Chef's Notes
Stack the biscuits in a rustic basket lined with a clean kitchen cloth, and serve with small jars of butter and fruit preserves for a charming breakfast or brunch display.
