How to Make biscuits dough

Similar to how we make homemade croissants, flattening and folding biscuit dough creates several flaky layers. This stage should take only 2 minutes, and the world's flakiest biscuits you will be rewarded with To begin, roll out the dough into a rectangle.

•  In a large mixing basin combine the flour, baking powder, and salt
•  Using a whisk mix all ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or pulsing several times in the machine, cut the cubed butter into the dry ingredients. 
• Using a knife cut/pulse until coarse crumbs appear. Pour the mixture into a large mixing bowl if you used a food processor.
• In the center of the mixture, make a well. 240ml buttermilk over the top and drizzle with honey. With a rubber spatula, fold everything together until it starts to come together. Make sure the dough isn't overworked. There will be some moist places in the dough, which will be shaggy and crumbly. 
• Gently bring the dough, including any crumbles, together on a floured work surface.
• As you put the dough together, it will become sticky. Keep extra flour on available for this step and use it to flour your hands and work surface. Flatten the dough as much as possible using a floured rolling pin into a 3/4-inch-thick rectangle.
•  Then fold the other side towards the center. Horizontally flip the dough. Flatten the rectangle into a 3/4-inch thick rectangle once again. Folding should be repeated.
• One more time, turn the dough horizontally. Flatten into a 3/4-inch thick rectangle using your hands. One more time, fold the paper. Flatten to a final thickness of 3/4 inch.
• Using a biscuit cutter, cut the dough into 3-inch circles. (Tip: When pressing down into the dough, do not twist the biscuit cutter; this closes off the corners of the biscuit, preventing them from properly rising.) Scraps should be re-rolled until they are no longer visible.
• Reroll scraps of dough until you've used up all of it. Around 9 biscuits should suffice. Bake on a baking sheet coated with parchment paper. Ensure that the biscuits are in contact with one another.
• The leftover buttermilk should be brushed over the tops. Preheat the oven to 350°F and bake for 17 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
• Remove from the oven, brush warm tops with honey butter if desired, and serve immediately with your favorite drink ie milk,tea

Note

• Don't overwork the biscuit dough. Biscuit dough that has been overworked and handled too much will result in harsh, hard, and flat biscuits. Combine the ingredients until they're mixed. It's typical for the dough to crumble.
• The salt is balanced by real buttermilk and a microscopic sprinkle of honey. The most tender biscuit is made with buttermilk!
• The most crucial step is to fold the dough together. Flatten the rough dough on a work surface with your hands. Make a rectangle out of it.
• Use cold butter to achieve flaky layers and pockets. As the butter melts in the biscuits, it releases steam and creates pockets of air, making the biscuits airy and flaky on the inside while remaining crisp on the outside.
• When biscuits are packed tightly against one another in the oven, they rise to a wonderful, lofty height.
