Honey Butter Biscuits

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. 2
   Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together into a bowl. Combine shortening with flour mixture using fingers until the mixture is crumbly and resembles cornmeal. Stir milk in gradually until dough is well combined.
3. 3
   Place dough on a floured surface; shape into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle about 12 inches wide.
4. 4
   Put honey and butter into a microwave-safe bowl; microwave until melted, 15 to 20 seconds. Stir.
5. 5
   Spread 1/2 the honey-butter mixture on the dough surface; roll up like a jellyroll and cut into 12 slices, about 1 inch thick. Arrange biscuits on a baking sheet 1/2-inch apart; spread remaining honey-butter on each.
6. 6
   Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 12 to 15 minutes.
