Why These Biscuits Hit
Flaky, buttery layers meet that iconic sweet-heat drizzle. Crisp on the outside, soft and tender inside, these biscuits bring comfort with a bold twist. Perfect for breakfast spreads, brunch boards, or anytime you want sweet and savory in the same bite.
The Mike’s Hot Honey Move
A warm drizzle of Mike’s Hot Honey melts into the golden tops, adding glossy sweetness with a subtle kick. It balances the rich butter and tender crumb for that craveable sweet-heat finish.
Biscuit Game Plan
Step 1: Preheat & Prep
Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 3: Cut in the Butter
Add cold cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work it in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with small pea-sized pieces of butter.
Step 4: Add Buttermilk
Pour in cold buttermilk and stir just until the dough comes together. Do not overmix, that’s the key to flaky layers.
Step 5: Shape & Cut
Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Fold once or twice for extra layers, then cut into rounds using a biscuit cutter.
Step 6: Bake to Golden
Place biscuits on the baking sheet with sides touching for soft edges (or spaced apart for crispier edges). Bake 15–18 minutes until golden brown.
Step 7: Brush & Drizzle
Brush tops with melted butter while warm. Finish with a generous drizzle of Mike’s Hot Honey and serve immediately.
