Instructions
Prepare dry ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Cream butter and honey
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and honey together using an electric mixer until light and creamy.
Pro tip: Ensure butter is fully softened for a smooth mixture.
Add wet ingredients
Add the vanilla extract and egg to the butter mixture, mixing until fully incorporated.
Combine ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
Pro tip: Do not overmix to maintain a tender texture.
Chill the dough
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Pro tip: Chilling helps with easier rolling and shaping.
Preheat oven and prepare baking sheets
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Shape and bake biscuits
Roll out dough on a floured surface to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into desired shapes and place on prepared baking sheets. Bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden.
Pro tip: Rotate baking sheets halfway through for even baking.
Cool and serve
Allow biscuits to cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Pro tip: Cooling on the rack prevents sogginess.
