Ingredients
-
For the Biscuits:
-
2 cups all-purpose flour
-
1 tbsp baking powder
-
1 tsp salt
-
1 tbsp Paramour Spice Co. "Side Piece" Seasoning
-
½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
-
¾ cup cold buttermilk (plus 1 tbsp for brushing)

-
For the Honey Butter:
-
¼ cup (½ stick) softened unsalted butter
-
2 tbsp honey

A pinch of "Sweet Seduction" Dessert Topper (optional, for flavor contrast)

Instructions
-
Prep Dry Ingredients: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and "Side Piece" Seasoning.
-
Cut in Butter: Add the cold butter cubes to the dry mixture. Use a pastry blender or your fingertips to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.
-
Add Buttermilk: Pour in the cold buttermilk all at once. Stir gently with a fork just until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.
-
Fold and Cut: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently fold the dough over onto itself 4–5 times (this creates the flaky layers). Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick circle. Use a 2.5-inch biscuit cutter (or a glass rim) to cut out biscuits. Re-form scraps once and cut any remaining biscuits.
-
Bake: Place the biscuits on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring the sides are lightly touching (this helps them rise straight). Brush the tops with the extra tablespoon of buttermilk.
-
Bake: Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and well-risen.
-
Make Honey Butter: While the biscuits bake, mix the softened butter, honey, and a pinch of the sweet topper (if using) until smooth and creamy.
-
Serve: Serve the biscuits immediately, split open and generously slathered with the Honey Butter.
