Biscuits

from The National Honey Board

3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 Tablespoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter
1 cup milk
2 Tablespoons honey

Mix dry ingredients in large bowl. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal. In a small bowl, combine milk and 2 Tablespoons honey. Add milk mixture all at once to dry ingredients and stir 20 to 30 strokes with a fork. Form into ball on a lightly floured surface. Gently knead dough 15 times. Divide dough in half. Roll out to 3/4-inch thickness. Using a bench knife, cut each round into 4 pieces (or cut out using a 3.5" biscuit cutter) and place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 425°F 10to 12 minutes or until tops brown. Makes 8.

These also work well for strawberry shortcake.
