Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 4 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour (plus more for dusting the surface)
  • 1 tablespoon Baking Powder (plus 1 teaspoon)
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 2 teaspoons Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon Nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Cardamom
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Cloves

Wet and Fat Ingredients

  • 1 cup Butter (Cold)
  • 1/2 cup Apple (Grated)
  • 1 cup Buttermilk (Chilled)
  • 3 tablespoons Unsalted Butter (Chilled, for glaze)
  • 3 tablespoons Honey
  • Pinch Salt (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Prep: Preheat the oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt, and the apple pie spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cardamom, cloves) until well combined.
  2. Cut in Butter and Apple: Using a pastry cutter, fork, or your hands, cut the cold butter and grated apple into the dry ingredients until coarse crumbs form. When you squeeze a handful, it should stick together.
  3. Add Buttermilk: Gently fold in the chilled buttermilk with a rubber spatula until just combined. The dough will be wet and sticky.
  4. Flour Surface: Generously flour a clean work surface and keep additional flour nearby for dusting your hands and the dough regularly.
  5. Scatter Flour: Sprinkle flour over the dough in the bowl to help manage the stickiness. Incorporate any dry bits stuck at the bottom of the bowl back into the dough.
  6. Knead Dough: Turn the dough out onto the floured surface, flour your hands, and knead the dough a few times until it becomes easier to work with.
  7. Shape Dough: Pat the dough into an oblong oval about 1 inch thick. Fold the short ends toward the middle like folding an envelope to create layers. Press the dough down and reshape into an oval.
  8. Repeat Folding: Repeat the folding and pressing process seven times total to build flaky layers.
  9. Cut Biscuits: Cut the dough into 3- to 4-inch circles using a biscuit cutter or glass. Place the biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet or two round cake pans.
  10. Bake: Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 20 minutes until golden brown.
  11. Make Glaze: While the biscuits bake, melt the unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in honey and a pinch of salt until smooth and combined.
  12. Glaze Biscuits: When the biscuits come out of the oven, immediately brush them generously with the warm honey butter glaze for a shiny, sweet finish.

Notes

  • Use cold butter and chilled buttermilk to ensure flaky biscuit layers.
  • Folding the dough multiple times creates the signature flaky texture.
  • If you don’t have buttermilk, mix 1 cup of milk with 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar and let sit for 5 minutes.
  • Serve biscuits warm for best flavor and texture.
  • Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container and reheat gently before serving.
