How To Make Homemade Honey Butter
To make the honey butter you are going to take melted butter and mix with your honey. Use a spoon to stir it up until it is fully combined.
Then you will use this to brush your biscuits.
With any leftover honey butter, you can place in an airtight container and I like to store in the fridge. It will set up, but you can easily spread on bread, biscuits, etc.
Tips For Making Homemade Biscuits
- For this recipe, you want to use cold butter. You can shave it on a cheese grater or chop it into small pieces. Then with a cutter or fork work it into the dough. You can also use frozen butter.
- You can also do the dough in a food processor but make sure to not overwork the dough, or it will be tough, making your biscuits cutter.
- If you use salted butter omit the salt in the recipe. Otherwise you can reach for unsalted butter.
- Store leftover biscuits at room temperature in an airtight container.
Can You Freeze Biscuits?
These flaky layer biscuits do freeze nicely. Just allow your biscuits to fully cool and then transfer to a freezer friendly container. Freeze the biscuits for 2-3 months.
When you want to eat some, thaw on the counter. Or wrap tightly in aluminum foil and place in a 350 degree oven and heat until the biscuits are fully warmed through.
I wrap them in aluminum foil so they don’t dry out. If you don’t wrap them they will go from golden brown to over done really fast.
How to Make Homemade Buttermilk
If you don’t have buttermilk on hand, no need to run to the store. Vinegar and milk are all you need to make your own buttermilk.
In a bowl add 1 tablespoon white distilled vinegar or lemon juice, and then pour in about 1 cup of whole milk. You want it to be just under the 1 cup mark.
Stir together, and then let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes on the counter. After waiting, give it a mix, and then use in the recipe as directed!
You can use this DIY buttermilk for any recipe that calls for it.

Can You Double This Biscuit Recipe?
Want to make extra biscuits? Go right ahead and double the batch. Then just serve up as you would. If you need batch cook the biscuits.
I recommend making these the day you plan to serve them for best quality. Biscuits dry out, and if you pre-make them then wrap tightly in foil and warm in the oven before serving.
It softens the biscuits up and gives them a fresh out of the oven texture.
