HONEY BISCUITS 
2 c. flour
4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tbsp. salt
1/3 c. shortening
2/3 c. milk
1/4 c. butter
1/4 c. honey

Sift flour, baking powder and salt together into a mixing bowl. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles cornmeal. Add milk gradually, blending until well combined. Place dough onto floured surface and pat into a 1/2 inch thick rectangle.

Cream butter with honey and spread a portion of this mixture on dough. Roll up as for jelly roll then cut into 1 inch thick slices. Arrange on baking sheet with 1/2 inch space between each biscuit. Spread remaining honey-butter mixture on top of each biscuit. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 12-15 minutes.

Cinnamon may be added to honey-butter mixture. Chopped raisins, nuts and/or candied fruits may be sprinkled over biscuit dough before rolling, if desired.
