How Honey is Made
To make honey, bees drop the collected nectar into the honeycomb and then evaporate it by fanning their wings.

Preheat oven to 400°.
Combine the first 5 ingredients in a large bowl. Mix to combine. Add cold butter and cut into flour mixture with a pastry cutter or two knives until coarse crumbs are formed. Stir in walnuts.
In a small bowl combine egg, honey, buttermilk and vanilla. Add to flour mixture and stir to just moisten. Do not over mix. Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface and pat into a round about 1-inch thick. Using a biscuit cutter or a small glass cut out about 10 rounds.
