A golden, spicy-sweet biscuit you’ll crave forever

There’s something deeply comforting about pulling a tray of hot, golden biscuits out of the oven. When those biscuits are soaked in buttery hot honey? You’ve officially crossed over into food heaven. These biscuits aren’t just warm and flaky — they hug your soul. I made them on a rainy afternoon, and suddenly, the entire kitchen felt like sunshine.

What Makes Buttery Hot Honey Biscuits Special

It’s not just the butter. And it’s not just the honey. It’s the slow swirl of the two, kissed with a whisper of heat from your favorite hot sauce. When you drizzle that over golden biscuits still warm from the oven, the transformation is complete. What was once humble becomes holy. Each bite is tender, a little sweet, a little fiery, and all heart.

Maybe you serve them with fried chicken. Maybe you split one open, stuff it with crispy bacon, and call it breakfast. Or maybe, just maybe, you eat three in a row while standing at the stove, because patience has no place when the honey is that hot and the biscuits that good. These moments? They’re made in warm kitchens and devoured with both hands.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tbsp baking powder, 0.5 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp kosher salt, 1 tbsp granulated sugar
Add cold cubed butter to the dry mix and cut it in using your fingers or a pastry cutter until it resembles coarse crumbs.
0.75 cup unsalted butter
Pour in buttermilk and stir until a shaggy dough forms. Do not overmix.
0.75 cup buttermilk
Turn dough onto a floured surface. Gently pat to 1-inch thickness and cut with a biscuit cutter.
2 cups all-purpose flour
Place biscuits on the prepared baking sheet. Brush tops with buttermilk and bake for 16–18 minutes until golden brown.
0.75 cup buttermilk
While biscuits bake, warm honey and hot sauce together in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl until runny.
3 tbsp honey, 1 tsp hot sauce
Brush hot honey glaze over warm biscuits and serve immediately.

Notes

Use frozen butter for extra flaky layers. Don’t overwork the dough—gentle hands make soft biscuits. For more heat, double the hot sauce.
