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.
3 tbsp honey, 1 tsp hot sauce

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