This biscuit recipe is one I found over at Sister's Cafe that I'd been waiting to try for a long time and a whole week of snow days was the perfect excuse. These biscuits were light, perfectly flaky, and had an out-of-this-world flavor! If you're looking for a good biscuit recipe I suggest you start right here.

2-1/2 tsp. baking powder

3/4 cup buttermilk
3 Tbs. honey

In a small bowl, combine buttermilk and honey, stirring with a whisk until well-blended. Add buttermilk mixture to flour mixture;
stir just until moist.

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead lightly 4 times. Roll dough into a 1/2-inch thick 9x5-inch rectangle; dust top of dough with flour. Fold dough crosswise into thirds (as if folding a piece of paper to fit into an envelope). Reroll dough into a 1/2-inch thick 9x5-inch rectangle; dust top of dough with flour. Fll dough crosswise into thirds again; gently roll or pat to a 3/4-inch thickness. Cut dough with a 1-3/4-inch biscuit cutter to form 10 dough rounds. Place dough rounds, 1 inch apart, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 400 degree for 12 minutes or until golden. Remove from pan; cool 2 minutes on wire racks. Serve warm. Enjoy!
