These made-from-scratch Honey Butter Biscuits are basted in a glaze that's buttery and sweet. They're cut into squares to give them a different look than an expected classic round biscuit. The sweet honey butter glaze, square shape and scone-like texture combine to make them very special indeed.
Why Use Frozen Butter for Honey Butter Biscuits?
The butter used in these honey butter biscuits is frozen and then grated on a box grater just like cheese.
- Doing it this way allows the butter to gently melt into the dry ingredients while baking and creating steam which gives them an almost scone-like texture. This technique eliminates the need to cut the butter into the dry ingredients.
- A quick toss to coat the butter with flour is all that's needed.
- Use a fork to work the wet ingredients into the flour to complete the dough.
- To keep the dough tender, you only roll once and use a knife to cut the dough into equal portions.
- To make larger biscuits cut the dough into 9 portions, and for smaller biscuits divide the dough into 12 portions.
Ways to Serve Biscuits
- My family loves these honey butter biscuits stuffed with fresh baked ham or sliced turkey or just as they are slathered with butter and jam.
- When I host a tea party with friends, I like to serve them topped with fresh whipped cream and berries just like scones.
- Enjoy them for brunch or breakfast filled with eggs and bacon or sausage, if you like. Any time is a good time to enjoy a Southern classic with a twist.
