How To Make Honey Butter Biscuits
Place butter in the freezer for about 15 minutes. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line a baking pan with parchment paper.
Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl and mix.
Take the cold butter out of the freezer and grate it. Immediately, add grated butter to the flour bowl and mix together with your hands until it forms a crumbly mixture.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the vanilla extract, milk, and honey.
Make a hole in the middle of the flour mixture then add the liquid mixture. Gently mix together starting with the whisk then start to use your hands to form the biscuit dough.
Turn the biscuit dough out onto a floured surface and knead just to combine everything but do not overmix.

Press the dough out with your hands about 3/4-1 inch thickness and cut using a round 3-inch biscuit cutter. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet.

Remove from the oven. Take a brush and brush the honey butter topping over the biscuits. Serve honey butter biscuits warm!

Recipe Tips
- Frozen Butter: Keeping a few sticks of butter in the freezer is always a good idea. They make the best biscuits.
- Grating Frozen Butter: You can use a box grater (what we usually use for cheese) to grate your butter. If you don’t have it, a pastry cutter or sharp knife also works.
- Chill: If at any time you think you’re butter is getting too soft when you’re prepping the dough, just pop the bowl into the fridge for a few minutes so the butter can firm up.
