- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly distributed.
- Cut cold salted butter into small cubes and mix into dry ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour in the buttermilk and honey, stirring until just combined without overmixing.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface, fold gently, avoiding excessive kneading.
- Roll the dough to about 1 to 1.5 inches thick and cut out rounds, placing them close together on the baking sheet.
- Brush tops with melted salted butter and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until puffed up and golden brown.
- Let cool slightly on a wire rack and drizzle with melted honey butter before serving.
