Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 10-12 minutes
Servings: 12 biscuits
Equipment: Baking sheet, medium bowl, saucepan
Ingredients:
- 2 cups flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1⁄2 cup vegetable shortening
- 2⁄3 cup whole milk
- 1⁄4 cup butter, melted
- 1⁄3 cup honey
Directions:
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 450°F (232°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for the biscuits.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and cream of tartar.
- Incorporate Shortening: Work the shortening into the dry ingredients using your hands, continuing until the mixture resembles fine cornmeal.
- Add Milk: Pour the milk into the flour mixture, stirring just until combined.
- Knead and Shape: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently about 12-15 times. Roll or pat the dough into small balls, about 2 inches in size, and place them on a baking sheet.
- Apply Butter: Brush the tops of the dough balls with some of the melted butter before baking.
- Bake: Place the biscuits in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
- Prepare Honey Butter: While the biscuits are baking, combine the remaining melted butter and the honey in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat and set aside.
- Finish with Honey Butter: As soon as the biscuits come out of the oven, brush them generously with the prepared honey butter.
Enjoy Your Biscuits: Serve these warm, honey-butter glazed biscuits fresh from the oven and watch as they disappear quickly.
