These are huge biscuits with many layers due to the lamination method.

BISCUITS (6)
5 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for surface
1 1/2 teaspoons granulated sugar
3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter
2 cups buttermilk
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 large egg yolks, beaten to blend
Preheat oven to 375.(in the You Tube video she says oven temp is 350F )
Pulse baking powder, salt, sugar, baking soda, 2 cups flour and
chilled butter in a food processor until largest pieces of butter are
the size of a nickel. Transfer to a large bowl with the remaining
flour and toss together until butter appears evenly distributed. Add
buttermilk over entire mixture all at once and knead mixture until a
shaggy dough forms and almost no dry is left at the bottom of the
bowl. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and pat into roughly a
12"-14" thick rectangle.
Begin by doing a tri-fold, starting from the left, fold the dough
halfway to the center, and then fold from the right over top of the
first fold. Press down to make sure dough is compact and flatten out
again to make a rectangle shape. Rotate dough 90 degrees and fold the
dough from the top down. Again, press dough down and reshape into a
rectangle. Rotate 90 degrees again, and fold from left to
right. Repeat the process 2 more times, ending with a fold from left
to right.
Using a rolling pin, adjust dough to desired thickness, about 3/4 of
the height of your biscuit cutter.( I believe she said she uses a 3
inch biscuit cutter ) Dip biscuit cutter into the flour to prevent
sticking, and then cut straight up and down, careful not to twist the
biscuit cutter. You should get about 4 biscuits out of your first
rectangle.
Press remaining dough together and reshape into a small rectangle. Cut
out 2 additional biscuits. Repeat as many time as necessary until only
a small amount of dough remains.
Mix egg yolks and heavy cream with a fork until blended. Brush tops of
biscuits lightly with mixture and place on a baking sheet. Bake until
golden brown, about 30-35 minutes.
Honey Butter
1 stick butter
1 cup honey
In a small saucepan, melt butter and honey until combined. Brush a
generous amount over biscuits while both the honey butter and biscuits
are hot. Sprinkle tops with generous amounts of sea salt.
