Equipment

  • Pastry cutter
  • Rolling Pin

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 sticks unsalted butter
  • ¾ cup buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons honey

Instructions
 

  • Place butter into the freezer for at least 15 minutes before beginning. If space permits, place buttermilk into the freezer as well. While the butter is freezing, preheat the oven to 425℉.
  • Once the butter is sufficiently frozen, cut it into cubes. Mix the flour with the baking powder and salt. Using the pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour. The butter should form small clumps in the flour.
  • Once the butter is cut into the flour, form a well in the center with the back of a spoon, as pictured above. Pour the buttermilk and honey into the well and mix until just combined. Do not over mix! This is very important, the dough should not come together in this step.
