Ingredients

Scale
  1. 3/4 cup salted butter
  2. 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 
  3. 3 tsp baking powder 
  4. 1/2 tsp baking soda
  5. 1 tsp salt 
  6. 1 cup buttermilk 
  7. 1 tbsp honey
  8. 4 tbsp melted butter
  9. 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  10. 2 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon 

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees and line a muffin tray. 
  2. Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. 
  3. Using a grater or the grating attachment on a food processor, grate the butter. Once grated, if it's no longer cold, freeze for a few minutes before adding it to the flour. 
  4. Add the butter to the flour and toss until it's evenly mixed. 
  5. Add the buttermilk and honey and stir until a loose dough forms.
  6. Turn the dough onto a floured work surface and knead until the dough all comes together. 
  7. Press or roll the dough into a 1/4 inch rectangle and fold the dough onto its self in thirds. Like you would fold a sheet of paper. Press or roll the dough out to 1/4 inch again and repeat the fold. Press or roll out the dough out again to a 1/4 inch rectangle. 
  8. Using a floured knife, cut the dough into 1/2 pieces. Roll each piece in the melted butter and then the cinnamon sugar. Place 3-4 pieces in each of the muffin spaces. 
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until risen and the tops are golden and slightly crispy.
