Honey Tips

Honey Is Sweeter Than Sugar

Due to the high level of fructose, honey is 25% sweeter than table sugar.

In a food processor mix together the first 6 biscuit ingredients. Add the butter. Pulse on and off until mixture resembles course meal. Add 8 tablespoons of whipping cream and all of the lemon juice.
