Serves: 7
Ingredients
FOR THE BISCUITS:
  • 3 cups All Purpose Flour
  • 1 tbsp. Baking Powder
  • 1 tsp. Salt
  • 1 tbsp. Sugar
  • ½ cup Sliced Scallions (about 1 bunch)
  • 12 tbsp. Salted Butter, divided
  • 1 cup Buttermilk + more if needed
PAPRIKA HONEY BUTTER:
  • 1 stick Salted Butter
  • 1 tsp. Paprika
  • 1 tsp. Garlic Powder
  • 2 tbsp. Honey
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425F.
  2. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar to a large mixing bowl.
  3. Grate 8 tablespoons (1 stick) of frozen butter and add it to the mixing bowl. Mix together with a fork until it forms a sand-like consistency.
  4. Slowly stir in the buttermilk and continue to whisk with the fork until a dough forms.
  5. Using your hands, knead the dough carefully until pliable. Transfer the dough to a floured cutting board and flatten into an oval shape. Top the dough with the sliced scallions and fold together into three to four layers.
  6. Flatten the dough for a second time with a rolling pin and repeat folding together into three to four layers. Then once again flatten the dough so you can shape the biscuits.
  7. Cut out 7 biscuits using a wide mouth mason jar. Make sure not to twist the jar, as this will seal the flaking layers around the edges.
  8. Place the biscuits in a buttered cast-iron oven safe skillet. Cut the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter into small pats and place on the top of the the biscuits.
  9. Bake for 20 - 25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
  10. While the biscuits bake, mix together the ingredients for the paprika honey butter and set aside.
  11. Once the biscuits are finished, drizzle each with the paprika honey butter. Enjoy immediately.
