Step 1

Split the still-warm biscuits and top with some bacon, a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato sprinkled with salt, and a slice of avocado sprinkled with salt and pepper. Cover with the other half of the biscuit and enjoy.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment.

Step 3

Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and baking soda in a large bowl.

Step 4

Toss the butter in the flour and cut it in with a fork or pastry cutter until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. With a rubber spatula, gently fold the buttermilk into the dough.

Step 5

Knead the dough a few times on a lightly floured work surface until it comes together. Pat the dough into an 8-by-10-by-3/4-inch rectangle. Cut out biscuits using a 2 3/4-inch biscuit cutter; cut straight down, don't twist. Cut the biscuits as close to each other as possible to lessen the scraps. Gather any scraps and knead just a few times to bring them together. Pat them back to an even 3/4-inch thickness, and cut out 3 or 4 more biscuits. (The reworked scrap biscuits might not rise as much as the other biscuits, but they will still taste good!)

Step 6

Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle with the honey. Bake for 15 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool.
