Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

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

Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Gently stir in buttermilk and honey (if using) until just combined.

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface.

Pat the dough into a ¾-inch thick rectangle. Fold the dough in thirds, like a letter. Repeat this folding process 3-4 times to create layers.

Cut out biscuits with a biscuit cutter or knife.

Place biscuits on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Cool slightly before serving.
