milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: self-rising flour

Self-rising flour simplifies the recipe by combining flour and leavening.

Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C).

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, garlic powder, and salt.

Cut in the cubed butter until coarse crumbs form.

Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese. Make a well in the center and add 1 cup buttermilk and drizzle honey on top; fold until just combined.

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and bring together gently, flattening into a 3/4-inch-thick rectangle, folding several times.

Cut into 2.5- or 3-inch circles with a biscuit cutter and arrange in a cast iron skillet or on a baking sheet.

Brush the tops with remaining buttermilk and bake for 18–22 minutes until golden brown.

Brush the warm biscuits with melted butter and serve warm.
