Honey Butter Biscuits

When my girls were little they loved to get the biscuits from Churches Fried Chicken and so I set out on a hunt to find a recipe that would please them as much as those did. I wanted to make them at home anytime I wanted and I wanted to be sure of what went in them. I honestly don't know where I found this recipe and if I might have changed it over the years but these are great biscuits for breakfast or to along with a fried chicken dinner or even some BBQ.

2 C all purpose flour (I used Gold Medal)
2 t baking powder
1/2 t baking soda
1 t sugar
3/4 t salt
1 C cold buttermilk
8 T or 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
1/2 stick unsalted butter, softened
3 T honey
Pour the melted butter into the cold buttermilk and swirl around with a fork letting clumps form. Next, whisk the dry ingredients together in a bowl. Pour the buttermilk mixture into the bowl with the flour mixture. Stir with a rubber spatula until dough pulls away from the sides and there isn't any dry flour left. Do this gently. Use a 1/4 C measure and scoop up a level amount and drop onto a baking sheet. If the dough sticks to the scoop you can grease it with butter. Bake at 475 degrees for 12-15 min. While the biscuits are cooking, soften the butter then add 3 T honey and whisk until smooth. Taste to see if you like the honey to butter ratio and you can add more honey if you like.
Take the biscuits out and brush the tops with the honey butter and let run down the sides.
You may want to make more honey butter to drizzle on the inside when serving.

As you can see my daughter snagged one of the biscuits before I could even take the picture!
