Buttermilk Biscuits

Let's Make Magic

1. The Setup:

• Cube butter, pop it in the freezer
• Preheat oven to 425°F
• Butter your skillet with love

2. The Mix:

• Sift flour, whisk in baking powder and salt
• Work in cold butter until pea-sized
• Fold in buttermilk gently (about 5-6 folds)
• Remember: less is more here

3. The Fold:

• Turn onto floured parchment
• 2-3 gentle folds with light flouring
• Press to 1-inch thickness
• Cut with floured biscuit cutter

4. The Bake:

• Place biscuits snug in skillet
• 20 minutes until golden
• Separate while warm
• Drizzle with Mike's Hot Honey

Pro Tips

• Cold butter is your best friend
• Don't twist the cutter - straight down and up

• Work quickly to keep everything cold
