Ingredients

  • 1 cup cold self-rising flour plus more for dusting the work surface
  • 2 tbsp frozen butter
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 2 oz cheddar cheese sliced thin
  • 2 tbsp butter at room temperature
  • hot honey to taste
  • flake salt optional

Instructions

Make the Biscuits

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F.
  • Add the flour to a large bowl. Using a cheese grater, grate the frozen butter on top of the flour. Mix gently until the butter is well incorporated.
  • Add the buttermilk and mix until the dough comes together in a shaggy ball.
  • Lightly flour your work surface and dump the dough onto the counter. Pat the dough into a rectangle with your hands.
  • Place half of the cheese on the top half of the rectangle. Fold the bottom of the rectanlge over the top making sure to fully cover and enclose the cheese. Pat the dough out into a rectangle again and repeat the cheese layering process with the remaining cheese. This step is important to create flaky, cheesey layers.
  • Next, cut the dough into squares (or use a round cookie cutter if you'd prefer).
  • Place the biscuits on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until they are golden brown on top.
  • (optional) Brush with melted butter and a sprinkle of flake salt.

Make the Hot-Honey Butter

  • In a small bowl, combine the softened butter and hot-honey. I usually use about 1 tsp per 2 tbsp of butter but it is completely up to your taste buds so adjust according to your preferred heat level.

Notes

Self-Rising Flour: If you can’t find self-rising flour, you can make it by combining 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1.5 tsp of baking powder and ½ tsp of kosher salt.
Butter: You can substitute butter for your favorite plant-based butter replacement. Just make sure to keep it very cold!
Buttermilk: If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make it by combining 1/2 cup of milk with 1/2 tbsp of white vinegar or lemon juice. Combine the milk and acid and let it sit five minutes before using.
