Nothing beats freshly baked light, flaky biscuits warm out of the oven. Serve these gems spread with butter and honey or split and use as a base for fruit shortcakes.

Ingredients

2 cups flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

6 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons GOLDEN BLOSSOM HONEY

2/3 cup buttermilk

Honey Tips

Honey Is One of the Oldest Foods

Honey is one of the oldest foods in existence. It was found in the tomb of King Tut and was still edible since honey never spoils.

Directions

Preheat oven to 450°.
In a large bowl combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add butter and using either two knives or a pastry blender cut in butter until mixture resembles a coarse meal.
In a small bowl, whisk together honey and buttermilk. Gently stir into flour mixture until just moistened. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently until dough forms a ball.
Roll dough out until about 1/2-inch thick. Using a 2-inch round cookie cutter cut out biscuits. Arrange on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake 8-10 minutes or until puffed and cooked in the middle.
Yields: 16-18
