Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet generously with butter.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Whisk until evenly mixed.
  3. Add the shredded cold salted butter and sharp cheddar cheese to the dry mixture. Incorporate until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Pour in the whole milk and honey, gently stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Transfer the dough onto a well-floured surface and pat into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Fold it like a letter, then rotate and repeat.
  6. Using a 3-inch biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits from the dough and arrange them in the skillet, slightly touching.
  7. Brush the tops with additional milk and distribute pats of softened butter around the biscuits before baking.
  8. Bake the biscuits for 20-22 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
  9. Melt together the salted butter, honey, and garlic powder in a saucepan, stirring in fresh herbs.
  10. Once baked, drizzle the honey butter over each biscuit and sprinkle with sea salt before serving warm.
