Note 1: full fat no butter substitutes

Note 2: very cold, & for brushing on top

Cut the stick of butter in small pieces and put it into the freezer 
to get super cold for at 15 to 20 min.

Put 1 C buttermilk into the freezer. Not to freeze but to get very, very cold.

Put the all-purpose flour and salt into a bowl.

Add the baking powder to the bowl with the flour and salt. Whisk 
everything well in the bowl. You want everything supercold so if you 
want put the bowl with the flour mixture into the freezer also for 
about 15 to 20 min.

When you remove the flour mixture from the freezer put it into a food 
processor. If you don't have a food processor you can use a pastry 
cutter. Put all the flour and part of the butter in at a time until 
it is all in with the flour and pulse for about 10 seconds. Put the 
mixture into a bowl.

Make a well in the center and pour in the buttermilk.

Add the honey and mix together by hand. Don't overmix the dough, just 
until everything is combined. Be sure all the flour is mixed in.

Sprinkle the workspace with a little flour and turn out the dough on 
to the flour dusted area.

Gather the dough together and flatten it into a rectangle with 
floured hands so it doesn't stick to your hands. Fold into thirds one 
way then turn the dough and do this again. This is what will make the 
layers of flakiness in the biscuits. If it sticks to the work surface 
sprinkle a little amount of dough again to the work area and your 
hands. Fold into thirds about 4 or 5 times.

When you form the last rectangle it is time to use your flour dusted 
rolling pin to roll them out so they are even. Make sure that the 
dough is a consistent thickness so the biscuits are even thickness 
and rise to the same height.

Use your biscuit cutter that has been dipped in flour and shaken off 
and go straight down and don't twist it before removing the biscuit. 
Pull it straight up and set it aside. This should make 8 biscuits 
that are placed to a cast iron pan. You can use Crisco spray on the 
bottom or not. Place the biscuits side by side touching each other. 
Brush the tops with a very small amount of butter in the bowl.

Place the pan in the oven for 15 to 20 min at 425F. Right before they 
come out of the oven melt some more real butter and add a little 
honey. Brush this on top of the biscuits as soon as they come out of the oven.

Review: I just made your biscuit recipe is it was fire ! And I'm not 
even a biscuit person..the honey sold me.

Review: Listen Baby!!!! I followed this recipe minus the honey 
(because I forgot) but this recipe is EVERYTHING you hear me.  this 
is the best biscuit recipe I found thus far!! Buffie you alright with me!

Review: I have been searching for years for the perfect biscuit 
recipe.   I want yo thank you so much, not only for the perfect 
recipe but for your detailed step by step directions.   I learned a 
lot from your video and made the best biscuit i have ever eaten in my 
life!  Thank you so much for sharing!

Review: Thank you, so much for this recipe I've have been just 
struggling to make them. My husband just loved your recipe and so did 
I. Literally he ran in and had two then another four for breakfast.

Review: The secret is the cold temperature and the folding.

Review: Roll the dough out cut them out in a square grid that way you 
don't have to keep messing with the dough there's a lot of Hi end 
bake shops that serve biscuits cut like a square. That way no worries 
about the dough getting tougher. And it's faster.

Review: When using honey or any other sticky liquid spray the measure 
spoon or cup with nonstick spray and it will slide right out.

On the baking powder can you can level your spoon by scraping it 
under the metal piece instead of using a knife to level off.

Review: I just made them for my husband birthday breakfast and it is 
the best recipe. thank you!!!

honey, but still very good! Next time I'll roll a little thicker and 
They will be deeelicious!! Great tips.

Review: I've tried a few buttermilk biscuit recipes, and this one 
finally got me that buttery crumble that I love so much. Excellent 
recipe. Thank you so much. I agree with the other commenters that 
you're great at explaining important details. I appreciate the 
perfection of measurement.

Review: Thank you so much! I followed your recipe to the T and they 
turned out fabulous.

Question: OMG I am currently trying to make bisquits and this video 
is perfect! I've been trying for a week and they are not coming out 
right, I haven't been keeping ingredients super cold, and I've only 
had 2% milk, but after watching your video I have confidence that 
they will come out right, the store didn't have any buttermilk but 
regular milk should be fine and I'll put some chunks of shortening in 
with butter, and use a cast iron skillet,
Reply: You can add a teaspoon of white vinegar or lemon juice (fresh 
or from bottle) to whole milk and let it sit for 10 min.   There's 
your buttermilk.

about everything being cold and putting them close together in cast 
iron. Mmmm... Very Good

Question: Omg..I'm going to try this this weekend! Great instructions 
but what size was the cutter and your pan? Want to make sure I get a 
good rise like yours. Please respond.
Reply: Her cutter looks to be about 3", and her skillet looks like 10".
