Apple Biscuits with Honey Butter Glaze

Just imagine eating these on the porch on a crisp fall morning, watching the sunrise. Isn't that a beautiful image? So are these biscuits.

Total Time: 30 Minutes (Prep - 10 Minutes / Cook - 20 Minutes)

Servings: 20 biscuits

Ingredients

• 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting the surface

• 1 tablespoon baking powder, plus 1 teaspoon

• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• 2 teaspoons sugar

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

• 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom

• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

• 1 cup cold butter

• 1/2 grated apple

• 1 cup buttermilk, chilled

For the Glaze

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled

• 3 tablespoons honey

• Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, sugar, salt and apple pie spices. Cut in the butter and grated apple using a pastry cutter, a fork, or your hands. Gently stir in the buttermilk.

2. Generously flour a clean work surface and keep your flour nearby to dust your hands and the dough regularly. Scatter flour over the dough in the bowl. Turn the dough out onto your prepared surface, flour your hands and knead it a few times.

3. Pat it out into a oblong oval shape that's about an inch thick. Fold the short sides toward the middle, like an envelope. Smack the folded dough down and press it back out into the oval shape. Repeat this process a total of 7 times.

4. Cut the biscuits into 3- to 4-inch circles and place them on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes.

5. While the biscuits bake, make the honey butter glaze. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the honey and salt. When the biscuits are done, brush them with the honey butter glaze.
