Buttery Honey Biscuits

Recipe lightly adapted from Joy the Baker

INGREDIENTS
3 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup cold salted butter
1 large egg, lightly beaten
3/4 cup cold buttermilk
dash vanilla extract

For brushing the biscuits
3 tbs melted butter + 1.5 tbs honey

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
2. In a mixing bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Using your fingers, quickly work the butter into the dry ingredients (some of the dough should be the size of small peas).
3. In a small bowl combine egg and buttermilk and beat lightly.
4. Create a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the egg mixture all at once. Stir into a shaggy mixture. The dough will be moist, but not overly wet.
5. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured board and use a floured rolling pin to gently roll the dough into a into a 1-inch thick oval. At the short end of the dough closest to you, fold the dough over until the edge of the dough meets the center of the dough. Fold the top edge of the dough towards the center over the first fold. Gently roll the dough into a 1-inch oval and repeat the folding process again.
6. After the second fold, again roll the dough out to a 1-inch thickness and use a 2-inch round biscuit cutter to cut biscuits. Press any dough scraps together to make a few more biscuits out of the remaining dough.
7. Place 1-inch apart on the prepared baking sheet and brush lightly with melted butter.
8. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown on top. Right after removing from the oven, brush with the honey butter and enjoy!
