Ingredients
For the Biscuits:
2 cups self-rising flour
1 cup cold buttermilk
½ tsp salt (optional)
¾ stick frozen butter, grated
For the Honey Butter Glaze:
2 tbsp melted butter
1 tbsp honey
Instructions
Step 1: Combine Dry Ingredients and Butter In a large mixing bowl, mix the self-rising flour (and salt, if using). Add the grated frozen butter and stir until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 2: Add the Buttermilk Pour in the cold buttermilk and gently stir with a spoon or spatula until the dough comes together in a rough, shaggy mass.
Step 3: Fold and Shape Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Press it together, then fold it over itself about five times to help create layers. Pat the dough out and cut biscuits using a 2½-inch biscuit cutter, making sure not to twist the cutter.
Step 4: Bake Arrange the biscuits in a greased baking pan so they’re slightly touching. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 18–20 minutes, or until the tops are a beautiful golden color.
Step 5: Add the Honey Butter Glaze Mix the melted butter and honey together. Brush the warm glaze generously over the tops of the biscuits as soon as they come out of the oven.
