Introduction

Southern-style Alabama honey butter grilled biscuits take your biscuit game to the next level. Caramelized with sweet honey butter, these biscuits are crispy on the outside and tender inside.

Ingredients

• 2 cups self-rising flour
• 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter (plus more for grilling)
• 3/4 cup whole milk
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Step 1: Fire Up the Arteflame Grill

1. Pour some vegetable oil on three paper napkins and place them in the center of the grill.
2. Stack firewood on top of the soaked napkins.
3. Light the paper and allow the fire to burn for about 20 minutes.

Step 2: Prepare the Biscuit Dough

1. In a mixing bowl, add self-rising flour.
2. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Add milk, honey, salt, and vanilla extract.
4. Mix until just combined – do not overwork the dough.

Step 3: Shape and Cut the Biscuits

1. Lightly flour a surface and roll out the dough to about 1/2-inch thickness.
2. Use a biscuit cutter or a round cutter to cut out biscuits.

Step 4: Grill the Biscuits

1. Generously butter the Arteflame flat griddle cooktop.
2. Place the biscuits onto the griddle and allow them to cook for 4-5 minutes.
3. Flip and grill for another 4-5 minutes until golden brown.

Step 5: Prepare the Honey Butter Glaze

1. In a small bowl, mix melted butter and honey.
2. Brush the warm biscuits generously with the honey butter while on the grill.
3. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the honey butter caramelizes onto the biscuits.

Tips

• Use cold butter when making the dough to get flaky biscuits.
• Do not overwork the dough – this keeps the biscuits tender.
• For a richer flavor, use cultured butter.
• Adjust grilling zones to keep biscuits from cooking too fast.

Variations

1. Cheddar Honey Butter Biscuits: Add 1/2 cup shredded cheddar to the dough for a cheesy kick.
2. Cinnamon Sugar Honey Biscuits: Sprinkle biscuits with cinnamon sugar before grilling for a sweet twist.
3. Jalapeño Honey Butter Biscuits: Mix in diced jalapeños for a spicy-sweet balance.
4. Maple Butter Biscuits: Replace honey with maple syrup for a deep, rich flavor.
5. Herb Butter Biscuits: Add freshly chopped rosemary or thyme to the dough for an herby touch.
