1 cup whole milk
2 tbsp honey
2.5 cups all purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 stick very cold salted butter - keep in the fridge until you are ready to use it

Preheat oven to 400F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Whisk milk and honey together for the biscuits and set aside. In a large mixing bowl mix together all purpose flour, baking powder and salt.
Cut cold butter into pea sized pieces and add to the bowl with the flour mixture. Crumble butter and flour together with a pastry cutter or the back of a fork until a sand like texture remains.
Pour honey and milk mixture into the mixing bowl and mix with a wooden spoon until just combined. Turn mixture out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for just a minute.
Roll into a 10 inch x 6 inch rectangle, fold into thirds and rotate once clockwise. Roll into the 10x6 rectangle again and cut into 8 biscuits.
Bake on the lined baking sheet at 400F for 12-14 minutes. While they bake mix the softened butter and the honey for topping. Brush the biscuits with the topping when they are still warm from the oven.
