Description
Easy Hot Honey Biscuits are golden, fluffy biscuits drizzled with sweet and spicy hot honey, creating the perfect balance of comfort and kick. They’re ideal for breakfast, brunch, or as a bold side to any savory dish.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all‑purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter (cubed)
- 3/4 cup milk or buttermilk
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1‑2 tablespoons hot sauce (such as sriracha) or to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 °F (220 °C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.
- Cut the cold butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the milk (or buttermilk) and stir just until a soft dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently pat it into a 1‑inch thick rectangle.
- Use a round biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for about 12–15 minutes or until golden‑brown.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the honey and hot sauce to your preferred heat level.
- Immediately after the biscuits come out of the oven, drizzle the warm hot‑honey mixture over them.
- Serve warm and enjoy the sweet‑spicy contrast.
Notes
- For extra tang and tenderness, substitute milk with buttermilk. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
- Ensure the butter remains cold until mixing—cold butter helps create flaky layers in the biscuits. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
- You can adjust the amount of hot sauce (or use a chili‑infused honey) to control the spice level. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
- These biscuits are best served fresh. To store, let them cool completely and keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for 1‑2 days or refrigerate up to 5 days. Reheat at low oven temperature and drizzle fresh hot honey before serving. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
- For a gluten‑free version, try substituting a 1:1 gluten‑free flour blend but results may vary.
