    Method

    1. 1

      Heat the oven to 220°C (425°F).

    2. 2

      Whisk the flour, baking powder, soda, salt and sugar. Rub in the cold butter until it looks like coarse crumbs with some pea-size pieces.

    3. 3

      Stir in the buttermilk until just combined. Pat out on a floured board, fold in half twice, and pat to 2.5 cm (1 in) thick.

    4. 4

      Cut with a floured cutter, pressing straight down and lifting without twisting.

    5. 5

      Set the biscuits on a lined tray so their sides touch. Press a small dimple into the center of each.

    6. 6

      Bake 14-16 minutes until tall and golden. Brush with melted butter and fill the dimples with butter and honey.
