Instructions
1-Preheat your oven and prepare dry ingredients: Start by preheating your oven to 450ΒΊF and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 2 ΒΎ cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, Β½ teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt.
2-Cut in butter and cream cheese: Next, cut the cold butter and cream cheese into the mixture until it forms coarse crumbs, which helps create those flaky layers. Stir in 1 cup of cold buttermilk just until combined, then gently knead the dough on a floured surface. Roll it into an 8-inch circle and cut into 2-inch biscuits before placing them on the baking sheet.
3-Bake and prepare honey butter glaze: Bake for 10 to 15 minutes until lightly golden. While they bake, melt 1 cup unsalted butter in a saucepan over low heat and stir in β cup honey to make the glaze. Brush the biscuits with this honey butter and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
