Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, granulated sugar, and honey until creamy. Shape the mixture into a log, wrap it in plastic, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Stir in the minced garlic, parsley, thyme, sage, and crushed lavender.
- Pour the cold buttermilk into the dry mixture. Stir gently until just combined to form a slightly sticky dough. Let it hydrate for a few minutes.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface. Knead gently three to four times to bring it together. Shape into a 1-inch thick rectangle and chill for 15-30 minutes.
- Roll the dough into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle, place the chilled honey butter in the center, and fold the dough over the butter. Roll and fold into thirds. Repeat twice.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Roll the dough to 1-inch thick, cut into squares or rectangles, and freeze for 5-10 minutes.
- Brush the tops with buttermilk and bake for 25 minutes until golden brown. Monitor closely to avoid overbaking.
- Brush with melted butter and honey after baking. Serve warm.

Notes
Keep butter cold for flaky layers. Avoid overmixing to prevent toughness. For a sweeter biscuit, increase honey to 3/4 cup. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes. Serve with honey butter or jam.
