Dill Biscuits With Honey Butter Recipes

HONEY BUTTER BISCUITS

Steps:

• One hour before making the biscuits, place the stick of butter and the bowl in the freezer.
• DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP, as your biscuits might not rise if your ingredients are not cold.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick baking sheet, and set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 450°F. (Make sure that the oven completes its preheat before the biscuits go into it, as a hot enough oven is imperative for fluffy, tall biscuits!)
• Grate the 8 tablespoons of frozen butter with a box grater. Transfer back to the freezer until it's time to use.
• In the chilled bowl, combine the dry ingredients-the flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk until combined.
• Add the frozen butter. Use a plastic spatula to fold the butter into the dry ingredients.
• Pour in the honey and milk, and stir using the spatula until a shaggy dough forms.
• Turn the batter out onto a floured surface, and press it together until combined. (We're basically gently kneading the ingredients until no scraps remain, moving quickly so the ingredients don't get warm, and shape into a 1" tall round.)
• Using a biscuit cutter, cut the biscuits. (I like my 1 ½" biscuit cutter for these, but you can use any size you'd like.)
• Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet. When the round is just scraps, reshape the dough into another round and cut more.
• Repeat until all the dough has been cut and placed on the baking sheet.
• Bake for 10-13 minutes, or until the biscuits have risen and are golden brown.
• Brush with melted honey butter right after the biscuits come out of the oven.
• Let cool, then enjoy!

HONEY BISCUITS

Steps:

• Put the flour, baking powder, salt and soda in a mixing bowl and stir to combine. Add the butter to the flour mixture and toss with a very light hand until it looks like crumbly cornmeal. Put in the fridge for 15 minutes (this firms the butter back up).
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• Mix the milk, honey and vanilla in a small bowl.
• Make a well in the middle of the flour mixture and pour in the milk mixture. With a light hand, mix just until combined. Flour a work surface and turn out the dough. Pat into a 3/4-inch-thick round or square. Dip a 2-inch biscuit cutter in flour and cut out rounds from the dough. Place on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with the buttermilk. Bake until golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes. Serve with butter, whipped sweet cream and berries.

FLAKY DILL BISCUITS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, dill, salt and pepper. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. With a fork, stir in eggs and 1/2 cup cream just until moistened. , Drop by 1/4 cupfuls 2 in. apart onto an ungreased baking sheet. Brush tops with remaining cream. Bake at 450° for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.

BUTTERMILK BISCUITS WITH HONEY BUTTER

Steps:

• For the biscuits:
• Position rack in middle of oven and preheat to 425°F. Whisk sugar, baking powder, kosher salt, baking soda, and 3 cups flour in a large bowl. Cut in butter using a pastry cutter or 2 butter knives until pea-sized lumps form. Stir in buttermilk until a shaggy dough forms.
• Gather dough into a ball. On a lightly floured surface, press into an 8" square. Fold sides over like a letter. Turn 90º and fold sides again, forming a small square. Press or roll to an 8" square and repeat once, adding flour as needed to prevent sticking.
• Pat dough into a scant 3/4" round. Cut out rounds with 2 1/2" cutter; transfer to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Gather scraps and repeat patting and cutting (you should have 14). Freeze until chilled, about 15 minutes.
• Bake biscuits, rotating sheet halfway through, until golden brown, 22-24 minutes.
• For the Honey Butter:
• Stir butter, honey, and 2 tsp. sea salt in a medium bowl until well combined.
• Top biscuits with Honey Butter and sprinkle with sea salt; serve warm or at room temperature.
