These Dutch Oven Biscuits are a true delight for any cozy morning or as a comforting side dish alongside a hearty dinner.

Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and place your Dutch oven with the lid on inside to warm up.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
-
Add the cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the buttermilk and honey. Stir gently with a wooden spoon until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
-
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a rectangle about 1-inch thick.
-
Using a floured biscuit cutter, cut out the biscuits and place them close together in the preheated Dutch oven.
-
Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter.
-
Cover the Dutch oven with its lid and bake the biscuits for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are beautifully golden on top.
-
Once done, remove the Dutch oven from the oven and let the biscuits cool slightly before serving warm.
