Ingredients
  

The Biscuits:

  • 2 cups self-rising flour
  • 1/4 cup cold butter cut into cubes
  • 2/3 - 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour

The Honey Cayenne Butter (Optional):

  • 1/2 cup butter room temperature
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/8 - 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Add the self-rising flour and butter to a bowl.
  • Use a pastry cutter to cut the butter into flour and work until the butter resembles small peas.
  • Pour 2/3 cup of buttermilk into the flour mixture. Stir until the dough starts to pull from the sides. If the dough is dry, add more buttermilk as needed.
  • Turn the dough out onto a board dusted with all-purpose flour. Pat out into a rectangle, about 1/2-1/4 inch thick.
  • Use a round cutter or cut with a sharp knife into a circle.
  • Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the oven for 10 to 14 minutes.
  • To make the honey cayenne butter, add the butter, honey, salt, and cayenne to a bowl.
  • Mix until combined. Taste and check for seasoning. Add to a ramekin or wrap in plastic wrap and keep in the fridge until ready to use.
  • Serve the biscuits warm with honey cayenne butter. Drizzle more honey over if desired.
