Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Make a well in the center and pour in the buttermilk and honey (if using).
Mix gently until just combined; do not overwork the dough.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently for about 30 seconds.
Pat the dough to about 1-inch thickness.
Use a biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits and place them on a baking sheet.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
