This past weekend was one of the first lazy weekends I’ve had in awhile. You know those days where you can just bum around your place and just don’t feel like leaving? Totally me. I did however, feel like making something.
I had recently bought a jar of raspberry honey and decided it was time to put it to use. What better way than good old fashion biscuits and honey!
How To Make Homemade Biscuits
I’m trying to make my way through different Pinterest recipes I’ve pinned over the years. I used this one from Williams Sonoma that was simple, yet delicious. The key is to keep the ingredients as cold as possible. Cut the butter into small cubes and combine into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or two knives. Pour in the milk and mix until ingredients are combined.
Place the mixture on a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth. I used a marble slab that I put in the refrigerator before hand to help keep the dough cool. Flatten the dough and use a biscuit cutter or a round cookie cutter and place on a baking sheet.
Cook for about 15 minutes at 425.
