Ingredients
  

For the Biscuits

  • 1 tbsp Baking Powder Ensure it is fresh for best results.
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda Can be omitted if you add more baking powder.
  • 2 tbsp Sugar Reduce if desired; maple syrup can be used for an alternative flavor.
  • 1 tsp Salt Sea salt can be used instead.
  • 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon Nutmeg or allspice can be substituted.
  • 1/4 tsp Nutmeg Omit if not preferred.
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Ginger Use fresh ginger for a more intense flavor.
  • 1/4 tsp Ground Cardamom Could be replaced with vanilla extract.
  • 1/4 tsp Ground Cloves Increase cinnamon as an alternative.
  • 1/2 cup Butter Substitute with cold shortening for a dairy-free option.

  • 3/4 cup Buttermilk (Chilled) Milk with a splash of vinegar can substitute.
For the Honey Butter Glaze
  • 1/4 cup Butter (Melted) Using unsalted butter gives you better control over the saltiness.

  • 1/4 tsp Salt Just a pinch will do the trick.

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Pastry cutter

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and position the oven rack in the center.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt, and spices until thoroughly combined.
  3. Cut the cold butter into small cubes and blend it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Fold in the grated apple and pour in the chilled buttermilk, mixing until just combined.
  5. Turn the dough onto a floured surface, knead gently about 5-6 times, and shape into a thick oval.
  6. Fold the dough over itself several times to create flaky layers.
  7. Cut the dough into circles using a floured biscuit cutter and place them on an ungreased baking sheet.
  8. Bake the biscuits for about 20 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
  9. While the biscuits bake, melt butter for the glaze and stir in honey and a pinch of salt.
  10. Brush the warm honey butter glaze over the tops of the biscuits before serving.
