Put your butter into the freezer for 20 minutes so it is nice and firm and easy to grate with a cheese grater later. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and lay parchment paper on top of your baking sheet.
Add dry ingredients into a bowl and mix. Take frozen butter out and grate right into the bowl immediately. Use a pastry cutter to incorporate, or use hands.
In another bowl mix together buttermilk, vanilla and honey. Make a well in the center of your dry ingredients and pour this inside. Use a spoon or your hands to combine JUST until the dry ingredients are incorporated, NO longer.
Very lightly flour a cutting board and pour dough out. Use your palms (ideally) to press into a flat 1 inch thickness all the way across (don't want to overwork it or they won't be as fluffy). Use a round biscuit cutter, 3 inches is ideal, to press firmly (do not twist) out biscuits.
Set on baking sheet with some space in between them and bake for 12-13 minutes just until tops are lightly browned and middle is no longer sticky.
Remove, transfer to a cooling rack and melt remaining 1 tbsp honey and 1 tbsp butter together until smooth. Whisk together and pour on top of each one, serve.
