Start your day with these homemade breakfast biscuits that are fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside. Made with simple ingredients, these biscuits are perfect for a hearty morning meal or as a side for any dish.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons honey

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Add the cold butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to combine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix the milk and honey together.
  5. Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
  7. Use a round cookie cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Serve warm with butter, jam, or gravy.
