Ingredients
- 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 2 tbsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 2 1/2 sticks cold salted butter
- 2 1/3 cups buttermilk
- 3 tbsp. honey
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 400. Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
-
Cut 2 sticks of the butter into small chunks, making sure it stays as cold as possible. Using a pastry cutter or fork, cut the chilled butter bits into the flour mixture until blended thoroughly. Make a well in the center and gently stir in 2 1/4 cups buttermilk and 2 tbsp. honey until the dough just comes together.
-
Turn out the dough onto a generously floured surface and use floured hands to press it into a 1-inch-thick rectangle. Fold one of the short sides into the center and then the other side (like a letter); rotate the folded dough 90 degrees and press to 1 inch thick again. Repeat the process two more times, folding, rotating and pressing the dough.
-
Cut out rounds of dough with a floured 2 1/4-inch round biscuit cutter and place in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet. Gently reroll the scraps if needed and cut out more biscuits (you should have about 14). Brush the tops of the biscuits with the remaining 1/4 cup buttermilk.
-
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the tops and bottoms are golden brown and the dough is cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, combine the remaining 4 tbsp. butter and 1 tbsp. honey and the cinnamon in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave until softened; mix until combined. Brush the hot biscuits with some of the cinnamon butter and serve the rest on the side.
