Homemade Honey Biscuits

I had never made homemade biscuits, that is until this past Sunday. I don’t really know why I never made them; I guess I thought the frozen biscuits were good enough. And the frozen biscuits are pretty good, especially the Alexia biscuits. Yum. But alas, when I was making our breakfast on Sunday, I came to the realization that we didn’t have any bread in the house. At all. Now I could do without bread but Ken wanted “eggs and toast.” It was rainy due to Tropical Storm Isaac so there was no way that I was going to make a run to the store for some bread. Then I got an idea. Why not make some biscuits. I had all of the items needed to make them. So I did just that. And these little gems turned out wonderful. Now you will notice that the recipe I based this off of called for kneading the dough before cutting out the biscuits. I didn’t do this. I forgot to but then instead of doing it when I remembered, I just spooned the batter onto a baking pan and cooked them that way. They came out perfect!  Please enjoy the recipe.
