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 Ingredients

  • 1 cup Butter (Cold)
  • 1/2 cup Apple (Grated)
  • 1 cup Buttermilk (Chilled)

Honey Butter Glaze

  • 3 tablespoons Unsalted Butter (Chilled)
  • 3 tablespoons Honey
  • Pinch Salt

Instructions

  1. Prep: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Get a large bowl ready for mixing the dry ingredients.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: Whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt, and spices — cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cardamom, and cloves — until well combined.
  3. Cut in Butter and Apple: Using a pastry cutter, fork, or your hands, cut the cold butter and grated apple into the dry mixture until it forms coarse crumbs that hold together when squeezed.
  4. Add Buttermilk: Gently stir in the chilled buttermilk, folding it in carefully with a rubber spatula to create a sticky dough.
  5. Prepare Work Surface: Generously flour a clean work surface and keep extra flour nearby to dust your hands and dough as needed.
  6. Flour the Dough: Scatter flour over the sticky dough in the bowl, incorporating any dry bits from the bottom to help manage the stickiness.
  7. Knead Dough: Turn the dough out onto the floured surface, flour your hands, and knead it a few times until easier to handle.
  8. Shape Dough: Pat the dough into an oblong oval about 1 inch thick. Fold the short sides toward the middle like an envelope to create layers, press down, and reshape into an oval.
  9. Repeat Folding: Repeat the folding and pressing process a total of 7 times to build flaky layers in the biscuits.
  10. Cut Biscuits: Cut the dough into 3- to 4-inch circles and arrange them on an ungreased baking sheet or two round cake pans, leaving some space between them.
  11. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the biscuits for 20 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  12. Make Glaze: While baking, melt the 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the honey and a pinch of salt until combined and smooth.
  13. Glaze Biscuits: As soon as the biscuits come out of the oven, brush the warm honey butter glaze generously over each biscuit to add sweetness and shine.

Notes

  • Use cold butter to achieve flaky biscuit layers.
  • Grated apple adds moisture and a subtle sweetness without making the dough soggy.
  • Folding the dough several times creates a layered, tender texture.
  • Work quickly to keep ingredients cold for best results.
  • These biscuits are best served warm on the day they are made.
