Church’s Honey Butter Biscuits

Ingredients:

For the biscuits

2 cups flour

4 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon sugar

1 teaspoon cream of tartar

1/2 cup cold butter, diced

2/3 cup milk

For the honey butter

4 tablespoons butter

1/3 cup honey

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and cream of tartar. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles cornmeal. Add the milk and mix well. Knead dough about 15 times.

Divide dough into 1/4 cup size portions. Roll into balls and place on prepared baking sheet. Pat to about 1/2 inch thickness.

In a medium saucepan, combine ingredients for honey butter. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat. Brush biscuits with a thin layer of honey butter.

Place in oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from oven and brush immediately with more honey butter before serving warm.
