Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Cut 1 cup of the butter into small chunks, making sure it stays as cold as possible. Using a pastry cutter or fork, cut the chilled butter bits into the flour mixture until blended thoroughly. Make a well in the center and gently stir in 2¼ cups buttermilk and 2 tablespoons honey until the dough just comes together.
Using a floured 2 ¼-inch round biscuit cutter, cut out rounds of dough and place in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet (do not twist the cutter when pressing out the rounds—twisting seals the edges and prevents the biscuits from rising). Gently reroll the scraps, if needed, and cut out more biscuits (you should have about 14). Brush the tops of the biscuits with the remaining ¼ cup buttermilk.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the tops and bottoms are golden brown and the dough is cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes.
