Prepare the Butter Block: Flatten the Butter Block butter between two sheets of parchment paper into a 6x6 inch square. Chill until firm.
Make the Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together Bread Flour, Baking Powder, Baking Soda, and Salt. Gradually add the Cold Buttermilk, mixing until just combined.
Laminate the Dough: Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll into a 12x6 inch rectangle. Place the chilled Butter Block on one half of the dough, then fold the other half over to enclose the butter. Seal the edges.
Perform a Single Fold: Roll the dough into a 12x6 inch rectangle again. Fold into thirds like a letter. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
Repeat the Fold: Repeat the rolling and folding process one more time. Wrap and chill for another 30 minutes.
Cut and Bake: Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Roll the dough to 3/4 inch thickness. Cut out biscuits using a 2-inch biscuit cutter. Place biscuits onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and flaky.
Make the Honey Butter: While biscuits are baking, cream together softened Butter, Honey, and Vanilla Extract.
Serve warm with Honey Butter.
