Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, turmeric, sesame seeds, and black pepper.

3. 3

   Add the cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients and cut it in using a pastry cutter or your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

4. 4

   In a small bowl, mix the buttermilk with honey until combined. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

5. 5

   Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Fold it over itself 2-3 times to create layers, then pat it back into a 1-inch thick rectangle.

6. 6

   Use a round biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather the scraps and repeat until the dough is used up.

7. 7

   Bake the biscuits for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack.

8. 8

   While the biscuits cool, prepare the drizzle by combining sour cream, lime juice, cilantro, lime zest, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Stir until smooth.

9. 9

   Drizzle the lime cilantro sauce over the warm biscuits or serve on the side for dipping.
