How to Make Anise Honey Biscuits

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in 1 tablespoon anise seeds.
  5. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in 3/4 cup milk and 2 tablespoons honey.
  6. Gently stir until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
  7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently a few times (about 3-4 times).
  8. Pat the dough into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle.
  9. Use a knife to cut the dough into 1 1/2-inch x 2-inch squares.
  10. Place biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet.
  11. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
