Chef notes
This dish is special enough for Mother's Day breakfast, but it can also pull double duty as a great dinner option. It's customizable to suit everybody's tastes.
Technique tip: Set a timer. Don't overwork the dough.
Swap option: You can always swap any ingredient to suit dietary needs (1:1 gluten-free flour in place of all-purpose flour, etc.).

For the biscuits:

4.Remove rested dough from the fridge, roll out into another 6- by 10-inch rectangle and fold over on itself. Roll into 6- by 10-inch rectangle a third and final time.
5.Cut the dough into 8 to 10 squares using a serrated bread knife and arrange on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter and a drizzle of honey before baking.
6.Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until puffed and golden.

For the sandwich:
