Absolutely delicious, buttery, and fluffy Honey Butter Biscuits! These flaky biscuits are sugar-free; I sweetened them with just ¼ cup of honey. They are also super easy to make and take only 20 minutes to be ready.
Honey Butter Biscuits
With the delicate flavor of the honey and the softness of the butter, this biscuit is sure to melt in the mouth and win your heart. I LOVE to pair these biscuits with hot chocolate or caramel latte for a snack.
I sweetened these buttery biscuits with just the right amount of honey. The honey not only adds a hint of sweetness but also adds a dainty flavor which is unique to this recipe.
Also, the recipe is so easy to follow, and it needs only six ingredients. Overall, these biscuits are so light, airy, and so easy to bite into that I promise you’ll repeatedly be making a batch every now and then.
Ingredients
Note: This is an overview of the ingredients. See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.
All-purpose flour: I like to sift my flour to get airy and light biscuits.
Baking powder: Use a good quality brand.
Salt: Every dessert needs a dash.
Butter: I use unsalted.
Milk: I use whole milk (full-fat milk).
Honey: The sweetener of the recipe.
How to Make Honey Butter Biscuits?
One: Before we begin, line a baking sheet with baking parchment and preheat the oven to 210C / 360F.
Two: Now start combining the ingredients,
In a mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients which are flour, baking powder and salt, whisk until combined.
Three: Rub the cold butter into the flour mixture (do not overwork the butter; otherwise, the biscuits will become tough).
Four: Lastly, add in all the remaining ingredients; Pour in the honey and milk, and stir until combined.
Five: Now that all the ingredients are well-combined turn the batter out onto a clean and floured surface and gently knead until no scraps remain. Go ahead and shape the dough into a 2.5 cm tall round.
Six: Take out a biscuit cutter straight away and start cutting out your biscuits.
Seven: Once they are all cut, place the biscuits onto the baking sheet you had set aside before and bake for 10-13 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.
Eight: Once baked, brush the biscuit with melted honey butter as
soon as they come out of the oven and let them cool!
Helpful Tips!
- Your biscuit dough should be moist and a bit sticky; DON'T add any more flour otherwise the biscuits will turn out dry.
- When shaping the dough, make sure to do this quickly because we need to plop the biscuits in the oven before the butter melts.
Recipe FAQs
The more you can save them from the air, the longer they will last you. If you pack them in an airtight container (once they have cooled down), they can last you up to a week.
But if they are made to be consumed immediately, they can last a good one or two days. However, don’t leave them on the counter without covering them in foil or plastic wrap. They can go stale if they are uncovered.
Yes, you can definitely try these out with Vegan butter; however, how the biscuits will turn out in terms of softness will totally depend on the brand you use. So choose the brand of your vegan butter wisely.
Doesn’t sound like a big problem to me! You can easily use an upside-down cup, glass, or bowl that has somewhat sharp edges to cut out biscuits from the batter. That’s it; any sharp utensil can work as a great cookie cutter. This way, you can even control the size and shape of your homemade biscuits. In fact, if you have the skill, you can ever try cutting it with a regular knife.
Of course, this varies from oven to oven. Although a good way is to always check the colour of the biscuits. The biscuits should be golden brown in colour. Remember, that doesn’t always mean that they’ll be picture perfect like they look on recipe books and magazines. Because a lot of the colour comes after the honey butter, which is brushed after the biscuits are out of the oven.
