**Brides Biscuits**
**Ingredients:**
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 tablespoon baking powder
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
– 3/4 cup buttermilk
– 2 tablespoons honey (optional, for a touch of sweetness)
– Melted butter, for brushing (optional)
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
3. Add the cold butter pieces to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your hands, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the buttermilk and honey, if using.
5. Gently mix the wet and dry ingredients together until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix to ensure light and fluffy biscuits.
6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it a few times until it comes together.
7. Pat the dough into a circle about 1-inch thick. Using a biscuit cutter or a floured glass, cut out rounds of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each biscuit.
8. Gather any remaining dough, pat it out, and cut out more biscuits until all the dough is used.
9. If desired, brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter for a golden finish.
10. Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are lightly golden on top and cooked through.
11. Once baked, transfer the biscuits to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
