Ingredients:
- 2.5 cups (315g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon (15g) baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon (1.5g) baking soda
- 1 teaspoon (6g) sea salt
- 1 teaspoon (7g) honey
- 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, frozen
- 0.5 cup (120g) plain 2% Greek yogurt, chilled
- 0.5 cup (120ml) cold low-fat buttermilk
Instructions:
- Preheat oven. Set your oven to 200°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Note: A hot oven is non negotiable for that immediate steam burst.
- Whisk dry ingredients. Combine 315g flour, 15g baking powder, 1.5g baking soda, and 6g sea salt in a large bowl.
- Incorporate fat. Add 85g of grated frozen butter to the flour until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs with some pea sized chunks.
- Mix wet ingredients. Stir 120g chilled Greek yogurt, 120ml cold buttermilk, and 7g honey together in a small jug.
- Combine. Pour the wet mixture into the dry until a shaggy, messy dough forms. Note: Don't overmix here; it should look ugly and unfinished.
- Laminate the dough. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and pat into a rectangle. Fold it in thirds like a letter, rotate, and repeat 3 times. until you see visible streaks of butter.
- Cut the biscuits. Pat the dough to 1 inch thickness and cut 10 rounds with a sharp cutter.
- Arrange. Place biscuits on the sheet so they are just barely touching each other. Note: Touching helps them climb each other for more height.
- Bake. Slide into the oven for 15 minutes until the tops are deeply bronzed and the centers feel springy.
- Finish. Brush the hot tops with a little extra buttermilk or melted butter immediately.
