Ingredients
1/4 c. butter
2 c. all-purpose flour
4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. sugar
1/2 c. vegetable shortening
1 tsp. cream of tartar
2/3 c. whole milk
1/3 c. Two Heads Hot Honey
Directions
Preheat oven to 450°F.
Melt butter in a small saucepan.
Combine flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, cream of tartar in a large bowl. Work in the shortening with a fork, until the mixture resembles and feels like cornmeal. Add milk, and mix well.
Knead the dough about 12 to 15 times, and then break it into 1/3-cup-size balls. Roll or pat out dough balls to ½-inch thickness, and place on baking sheet.
Brush each biscuit with melted butter, and bake at 450°F for 10 to 12 minutes.
While the biscuits are baking, add honey into the remainder of the butter and bring it to a boil. Remove from the heat and set aside.
When biscuits are done, remove them from the oven and immediately brush the tops with honey butter.
Yield: ~10 biscuits
