RECIPE
dry ingredients:
4 cups all purpose flour
2 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp kosher salt
1 Tbsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
add:
1 cup butter, diced into cubes and kept cold
wet ingredients:
1 cup sour cream
1 cup Sprite or sparkling water
to brush on top:
2 T heavy cream
HONEY BUTTER:
1 stick butter, left at room temperature for at least an hour
2 T honey
HOW TO
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees (on convection if possible)
Preheat a large cast iron pan or baking sheet tray
In a food processor, pulse together all of the dry ingredients (except the butter)
Add the cold cubed butter (important that it is kept cold beforehand!) and continue to pulse until the butter breaks up into small pea sized pieces
Add the sour cream and sprite and pulse until all ingredients just come together (about 10-15 times)
Sprinkle flour on your countertop or cutting board and scrape out the dough onto the surface. Using your hands, knead the dough until it JUST comes together, adding a few sprinkles of flour as you go to keep the dough from being too wet.
Pat the dough out until it is about 1 inch or slightly thicker. Punch out rounds using a cookie cutter or an alternative such as a mason jar or coffee cup. Combine the excess dough, pat out as you did before, and repeat.
Pull your hot pan out of the oven, grease with a little butter, and add your biscuits keeping them at least 1 inch apart.
Using a pastry brush, brush the tops of the biscuits with just a bit of heavy cream. If you don't have a pastry brush, use a small spoon.
Bake in the oven for 15 minutes until the outsides of the biscuits are golden brown.
While the biscuits are baking, combine softened butter (left out at room temperature for an hour or so) and honey with a fork or small spatula until well combined. Store at room temperature.
Brush the tops of the biscuits with honey butter and a sprinkle of salt.
EAT and ENJOY!
Store leftover biscuits on the counter and reheat in the oven.
