Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 cup (110g) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives
  • ¾ cup (180ml) cold buttermilk
  • For honey butter spread:
  • 4 tablespoons (56g) softened unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • A pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Cut in the cold, cubed butter using a pastry cutter, two knives, or fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits of butter.
  4. Stir in shredded cheddar cheese and chopped chives.
  5. In a separate bowl, pour cold buttermilk.
  6. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the buttermilk. Gently stir until dough just comes together; do not overmix.
  7. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and fold over onto itself 3-4 times to create layers. Pat into a 1-inch thick round.
  8. Cut out biscuits using a 2.5-inch biscuit cutter or sharp knife, pressing straight down without twisting. Gather scraps and cut more biscuits.
  9. Place biscuits 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  10. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown on top.
  11. While baking, combine softened butter, honey, and sea salt to make honey butter spread.
  12. Let biscuits cool for 5 minutes, then split and spread generously with honey butter. Serve warm.

Notes

Keep butter cold to ensure flaky layers. Do not overmix dough to avoid tough biscuits. Press biscuit cutter straight down without twisting to help biscuits rise evenly. Chilling dough before cutting can help keep butter cold. Honey butter can be adjusted with more salt to taste. Dough consistency can be adjusted with extra buttermilk or flour as needed.
