Why We Love Baking Honey Biscuits

Honey whole wheat drop biscuits are especially great because they're naturally sweet — thanks to the raw & unfiltered honey inside — but not too sweet to make homemade biscuits and gravy.

Before we keep going, if you're really in a rush: go ahead and preheat that oven to 375º.

Since no one likes doing dishes after breakfast, we made sure this is a "one bowl" recipe. Just throw everything together and voila! You're less than 20 minutes away from warm, fresh-baked, homemade biscuits.

You're going to love baking with honey, especially a unique raw & unfiltered honey like Local Hive Washington Honey Blend. For more tips on making homebaked recipes with honey, check out our blog: "How to Bake with Honey Instead of Sugar."

3/4 tsp sea salt
6 tbsp unsalted butter
3 tbsp Local Hive Honey (Try our Washington Honey Blend)
1 cup milk of choice

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, add whole wheat flour, baking powder and sea salt. Mix together to combine.
3. Add in the cubed cold butter and combine it with the dry ingredients using a pastry blender or your fingers until the flour turns into coarse crumbs.
4. Add Local Hive Honey and milk. Stir until just combined (no more flour streaks.)
5. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop the biscuit dough onto the parchment-lined sheet pan.
6. Bake for 13–15 minutes or until golden brown. Enjoy a warm biscuit with a little butter and honey right out of the oven or let cool before serving.
